Had a friend put in a referral for me at Facebook. Recruiter said to reach out in 2 weeks to check my status. It’ll be 2 weeks on Friday but I’m really eager and want to check now. Will it be okay to follow up a few days early?

Nah fam I need to get out of here asap lol

If you're super eager, write the email today, and schedule it to send sometime tomorrow.

Thursday seems close enough.

There’s negligible benefit in not chilling

Have you already interviewed? What’s the 2 week wait for?

If they are interested, they’ll reach out anyway. If they aren’t, an ahead-of-schedule email from your side won’t make them interested.
