How long should I wait before following up with a recruiter saying they are interested in making an offer? Last Friday an EY recruiter told me after 2 interviews that the team was interested in moving forward and asked for my desired location and salary. It’s now been a full week and I haven’t heard back. Im still in the first round interviews of several other firms, so im not in a rush. But how long before I should send a follow up? Don’t want to seem desperate (I’m not) but im also interested

Follow up on Monday

Will do. I’m a bit confused bc they were very quick and responsive to schedule interviews and right after the 2nd technical interview the recruiting team reached out saying the team is interesting in moving forward and asked me about location/salary, and now they haven’t said anything for a week.

Follow up Monday. Could be they needed to gather internal approvals to move forward and someone on their side got distracted. At my old big 4 you couldn’t make an offer until everyone who interviewed completed the eval. Sometimes hr would forget to send the eval to all interviewers, other times a partner forgot to fill out, etc.

Could be they had another candidate come in this week. I doubt budget changes would happen in a week where now the spot doesn’t exist but these days anything’s possible.

I think waiting at least a week is good. But it’s Friday... Your email might get lost over the weekend (that happened to me once). Best to wait for Monday

That’s what I’m thinking too. Not sure if they’re playing some games to see whether or not I’ll follow up or if I’m just over thinking. Thanks for the advice!

Man, honestly, the EY interview I had was one of the worst experiences from a logistics standpoint. Really turned me off. 6 months start to finish and I constantly had to reach out every week sometimes with no response back. Had one guy who referred me who kept me in the loop but it was just such a bad experience. Compare that with a FANG interview process where less than 3 weeks from start to finish with offer in hand. Very organized, professional and kept me immediately up to date throughout entire process. Personally, this makes a difference for me.
