Hey everyone!

Navigating my first job change and I did a first round ‘get to know you’ call with the potential employer’s recruiter. There are two interview rounds after that however I haven’t heard anything back since that call which happened on Friday last week. Should I reach out? If so, how many days should I give before I reach out?

What kind of positions and location?

For the future, I always ask right at the end what the next steps/timeline is.
Helps to let them know you’re serious and helps you from the overthinking mentality if they haven’t reached out. Then, you know to reach out if they didn’t get back to you within the window that they stated.

That’s really good advice, thanks! I remember he did say he would get back to me by next week but it seemed really open ended, especially as we have a 4 day weekend coming up

Depends on the employer. I normally wait a min of 2 business days before following up on anything in general. However, I have noticed that recruiters are backed up in today's environment. I'd say this, if it's a small company, maybe give them another day or two before following up. If it's a large one, follow up with them at the beginning of next week.

Fair enough, it’s is a small company (around 200 employees), I’ll follow up at the end of the week just to give them the benefit of the doubt!

I usually follow up within 1 week if I don't hear back. You can wait until Friday or shoot over a message today. Either way, I'd definitely follow up.

Yeah sounds like a fair shout! Thanks!

It’s dependent on what was agreed on that call. I’ve recently just gone through my first job change. Accenture took far too long to get back to me. And Deloitte took about 5-7 business days between each interview

Fair enough

I would consider it a loss at this point. But there's no harm in following up anyway!

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days.

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

Any insight into EY’s IFCS practice? Thinking of applying to their open staff role from another firm, I’d be transferring out of audit.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
