Hey everyone, how long does it normally take to hear back after simply applying and getting the typical you applied email from a recruiter? It’s been about a month, and I did it with a referral as well.

I haven’t been denied which I suppose is a positive to take from the situation.

I got a referral and submitted for 2 roles. One took almost a month to hear anything and the second one took 2 days. I ended up getting an offer for the first role and start in a few weeks. Will be close to 6 months from application to start date for me.

You don’t always hear back, in my experience. They get too many applications, don’t have the time to respond to all of them in a timely manner

That’s just my response though, and I used to apply for roles that I now realize I was under qualified for, so that’s perhaps why I never heard back. Hopefully it’s not the same for you!

First - thank you so much to this amazing group for all the encouragement and advice! I now potentially have 2 offers (both verbal) at this time. Both amazing companies. I have 2 questions:
1. I have a month's vacation planned for end of this year. I didn't mention it during the interview process (it was not intentional). Should I mention this to the recruiter when they come to me with the initial offer?
2. Some tips for salary negotiations please?
