How long should I wait before following up with a recruiter? I provided materials and they said they’d send them out immediately and start contacting firms, but didn’t provide a timeline.

It would depend on how quickly your recruiter's contacts take to respond. I like when my candidates take enough interest in our "partnership" to check in every few days to once per week. You're essentially trusting them with your career, so do what's reasonable and beneficial to your partnership with them. Although, I'm a bit concerned you were told your materials would be sent around town. I generally keep identifying information out of the market until the candidate and I have discussed it and I've been given express permission to share a resume or other materials. Maybe give your recruiter a call to check on strategy, confidentially, and follow up expectations.

Im an out of market applicant, and we previously conversed about potential firms, those with opening And those without. Recruiter provided a list which i researched and vetted accordingly, and subsequently authorized to reach out to those firms. Didn’t explain all of that in OP.

I appreciate the information about follow up time!

Sounds good. Best of luck on your search!

I'm interviewing at a SaaS company that has about 50 people. What's a good way to figure out how financially stable they are? What questions can I ask in an interview? I don't want them to turn around in 6 months and lay me off because the economy isn't doing well.

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?
