Hi all, curious for some googlers thoughts on this: did final rounds for a role in S&O earlier this week and thought all went well and now recruiter called and said senior director of team now wants a 30min chat first thing Monday AM; will prepare for it as an interview of course but curious if this is typical to happen after proposed final rounds?

Prob one of the top few candidates and they need another opinion. I’d treat it as both a fit call and an interview.

Which level is it for? They could be doing it to check fit for a level

This happened to me twice, I didn't get an offer either time so I'm curious too

Interesting - will come back once I hear back and update to see if also ends up as rejection for me.

I had a similar thing happened to me but got the offer. Had two informal VP catch ups after my final round. L5 S&O at a non-US location.

Ended up being told that I am preferred candidate for the role but broader team is figuring out where to allocate headcount / which roles to prioritize as they posted 3-4 at one time. Maybe get good news in the new year, let’s see!

Looks like a no go and the role I was interviewing for is getting cut. Oh well!

Do large law firms really recieve enough applications for a position that they cannot follow up when someone reaches out to check on thier application? I get that if you have to reach out, they probably weren't interested anyways, I'm just curious why there is a practice of just leaving applicants in the wind. And also, how does one go about finding out why they were rejected, if thier qualifications are "impressive"?
