T.A.P. Q#361 - Hey Mr. Hiring Manager! What's the Deal?

Dear Experts,

I was contacted by a company for an opportunity that's a great match for my skills and background. I proceeded through a phone screen, two 90 minute phone interviews. I was then invited into the office for a 2.5 hour face to face interview and invited back for another 4.5 hours of face to face interviews. Along each step I send appropriate thank you notes.

Following the last face to face interview, I was told I'd hear back within 2 weeks. After 2 weeks had passed I contacted the hiring manager via e-mail. He replied indicating he would call me by the end of the week. Another week passed without contact. I e-mailed the hiring manager and asked for an update in the process. Another 4 days have passed - no reply.

What are my next steps? Ideally, I'd like to say to the hiring manager, after 6+ weeks and over 10 hours of my time, I am due the courtesy of a reply!
