HELP! I had a final round Super Day last Monday at a UHNW firm. It went really well and all signs were pointing towards hiring me. They told me I would hear" either way by beginning of next week or even by the end of this".
We are now at the "beginning of next week" and haven't heard a peep. Was holding off until today, Tuesday to send a follow up note. !!
Should I wait to send a follow up message mentioned how eager I am, or wait?
