With internal recruiter if it makes a difference

A full week, yes. Give it space

I usually send a thank you the same day and a follow up check in a week or so later

1-1.5 weeks!

Next question... what if you interviewed for one role, but they have another one you’d be interested in if they thought you weren’t suitable for this one? When could and should that be communicated

^by the company or by you?

By me

(Would be a step down role)

I would normally suggest against a step down. Do you feel you're qualified for the original hire role? Are you selling yourself short? Or are they trying to lowball you? But it all is dependent on how desperate you are for a job. Take what you get, but always know your worth. Because most companies will always try to give you less, it's a numbers game unfortunately.

Do not bring it up until you know the result from the one you have already started interviewing for.

1 week is money. Even better, wait until another shop reaches out, then email the first recruiter that wanted to check before you started talking with another agency because you really liked them.

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.
It’s discouraging because I’m a fast learner, and from talking to my friends who are Financial Analysts, it doesn’t seem like what we do is so dissimilar.

Hi all, need some help in approaching this: So I was interviewing for a specific role and finished final rounds. However, the head of the dept wants to pitch me for another role that he thinks I’m a better fit for although for the previous role interview, it’s positive outcome too. I’m more interested in the prior role. How do I go about expressing that?
