Waiting on agents

Hello. I'm just looking for company on this long waiting game. Anyone else waiting to hear back from agents at the moment? I sent out five initial submissions at the end of January. So far I've received a really encouraging rejection and two requests for the full. Nothing from the other two so far. It's coming up to a month since I sent off the first full ms, and just over three weeks for the other one. Has anyone else waited over a month for a response to a full and been offered representation, or is it maybe time to think of moving on?

Congratulations!! I received a celebratory email shortly after my acceptance and the contract took another week as it had to be vetted by the agency’s principal.

Thank you! Ahh ok thanks. I’m hoping that’s why I’ve heard nothing for a few days and not because she’s changed her mind 😂
