How long do you wait after a 3rd interview to follow up, ask for an update or give up hope? Had a 3rd interview with a high level exec after meeting with the hiring manager, and it has been a week. They were pretty aggressive in the beginning of the process, but now things are dragging out.

I wouldn't assume that it has to do with you. Sometimes things get slowed down because of various internal factors. I think if a week has passed though, you can feel free to reach out. Giving them a week is respectful of their time, but you still want to show your interest!

I typically will follow up somewhere in the 1-2 week range depending on what they said in the interview. If they said that it could take awhile to hear back then I'll typically wait closer to 2 weeks, whereas if they say I should hear back in a week then I'll email them after a week if I haven't heard anything. Hope you get some good news!!

Hi,

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?
