Generally they only get attorneys that aren’t getting called by reputable recruiters, so I think they just spray and pray. I haven’t practice with a law firm in like eight years, and I still get emails from them.

Had my 2nd interview with the hiring manager this past Friday & sent a thank you shortly after. It's now Tuesday (for those who see this on another day). At the end of the interview he said they've had other people who were interested but only one other person besides me were they considering. Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.
