How soon is it appropriate to follow up after an interview? Or should you just wait for HR to get back to you?

Send that thank you letter a day later to remind them you love them.

Did they give you an idea of when you should expect to hear from them? I always ask for one, if they don't volunteer one... Otherwise, I tend to force myself to wait a minimum of two weeks before reaching out.

How long has it been since the interview, and did you send them a thank you note/email thereafter? The "thank you for your time" follow up is usually a good time to ask about time frame/next steps, if you forgot to do so at the interview.

☝🏼this.. It shows interest. Waiting 2 weeks seems excessive. I've come back for second interviews within a week. Typically with people higher up the food chain. I've also never not been offered the job when I've made it to 1st stage in-person interviews.

I follow up exactly one week after sending the thank you note that evening.

Sorry- I def could have been more clear. 100%, send the thank you immediately after/the next day. If they said they'll reach out to you and you haven't heard back, I've found the two week mark to be the point where I don't feel I am being pushy. But it also depends on if they're filling an immediate need or they're looking for someone to fill an upcoming role.

Thanks for the responses all! I spoke to HR immediately after and she said she'd get back to me on feedback shortly. It's been about 2 days and I mostly want to know if I should prep now for the next step (making and pitching a presentation) or if it's a no go.

My 2nd round of interview for AWM VP position got cancelled with #JPMC at the end minute. HR said the position is put on hold by Business.. any similar experiences? Anytime HR came back with interview schedule later in such cases?

So I had a first interview this past Friday at a company that I had previously interviewed with and made it to the final round last month. They decided to go with an internal candidate after it came down to me and him. The current role is more senior, and was one I was asked to apply for by the hiring manager, whom I also met with during the last set of interviews. I emailed the recruiter to f/u on Friday and still have not gotten a reply. Should I be concerned?

What to make if this ?

Recently I got invited to an interview with a decent growing company. I work in Executive Search and I am thinking of switching to in-house recruiting. During the conversation the recruiter made some weird assumptions about my current job. The interview took longer than expected and I feel like I have not delivered well. Was I wrong to expect in-house recruiter to understand the differences and similarities between in-house-recruiting, professional search and retained executive search?

Is it possible to ask for too high of a salary during an interview?

I had an interview end early because they couldn't match my salary ask despite me being a "perfect candidate" (their words). The range was the same/lower than what I currently make, and their role was for a more senior position. I gave a highball range but I figured there would be some negotiating. Maybe that company just isn't the right fit for me, but I'm just thrown off by how quickly the call ended after that.

like

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?
