Never read anything into a response for a thank you note.

Yep that’s why for us, HR tells us not to reply to thank you notes and keep all comms through recruiters

Regardless, it’s nice that you did that. Today I was trying to decide between two equally qualified candidates and picked the person who followed up after the interview.

Sigh I forgot to send thank you note and now I'm on the wait list

I think it’s no sign - just very dependent on the personality of the interviewer.

Really hard to say. I’ve had it go both ways in the past. Either way they probably appreciated your thank you regardless of the end result.

Is this a good sign:

What if they respond mentioning they'll set up time to discuss next steps, even though they haven't finished interviewing all candidates?

How should you follow up?

The only way you know it’s a good sign is when they start talking to you about the next steps or the recruiter starts talking seriously about comp

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D.

The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs

For those working in house, how much “from scratch” document drafting are you doing vs. reviewing and revising “outside documents”. For example, if your company wants to enter into a joint venture company with another entity, are you drafting the company agreement “from scratch” or is it based on internal forms? Or are you getting outside counsel to do it?
