Had my last round interview about 10 days ago. What’s the best way to check in with the recruiter / hiring manager, without sounding too desperate? No other offers on the table, but really looking forward to receiving an offer.

I legit just lie and said I had an offer on the table and I’m still really interested in this xyz position and was looking to see if there was an update. It’s worked for me on two different job switches and also on negotiating 😉

Classy

Follow it up weekly. They own you a response. 10+ days without a response is often a no-go or being a back up candidate at best. Move on after 3 weeks.

Isn’t 10 days excessive? I would expect an offer (at least verbally) within a few days if I was chosen.

1) I get they may want to interview others, but not if they wanted to hire you.
2) I wonder if 10 days allows them to keep you as their second choice. Ie give an offer to one individual and keep you on hold in case they reject.

I’m in a similar situation and not optimistic about 10-day crickets. It’s quite rude.

I would go through the recruiter, thank them for setting up the interview, reaffirm your interest, and ask if they have received any feedback from the hiring manager.

Is anyone else facing the brunt of working in a service based company and trying to move to a startup product company being dragged down by the 90 days notice period.

Even established product companies shy away at this. Has anyone recently switched despite this long a notice period?

I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
