I had a fantastic second-round interview last week but it's been a week now with no follow up scheduled. How long should I wait before reaching back out?

Listen, years back.. I had a sluggish recruitment process. I mean terrible. I felt the interviews went well (most candidates do) - but so do 100’s of applicants that don’t hear back. That said, as I waited (much like you) in between phases - I thought 3 weeks was going to be a ghosting. I actually sent an email to the CEO, my role would report into him, and listed out why my background would fill his current gap and attached a 30-60-90 day. He actually replied that night and a month later I was hired.

All that said, this is the most brutal job market in history. Largely due to Biden, that will end soon and not to get political, but that’s 100% the reason. You are competing with hundreds of applicants, most over qualified and all screen very well. With the use of AI and other tools, even your undereducated and bad actors look sharp - so it’s a harsh market. Throw your Hail Mary pass today if you want to be considered, bc most candidates moving forward hear back within 72 business hours.

Assuming you followed up immediately after that interview, I’d say you’re at a point where you should be doing so again. If you didn’t, it’s likely too late

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?

As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat.
