I had a really good interview with three partners last week and was told another partner would be following up for a second. Sent thank you emails that night. One partner replied reiterating the fourth would reach out. I waited a week and nothing, so I followed up with recruiter and on a whim, checked my junk mail folder. Unbeknownst to me, fourth partner emailed night of first interview. I’ve sent emails and left a voicemail today but haven’t heard back. Am I screwed?!

If you’re screwed, it wasn’t meant to be. I think that would be a dumb reason not to continue talking to you.

Update: fourth partner responded, and we’re scheduled for a meeting next week. Thanks all for the reassurance!

See- told you. Best of luck!!

No you’re not screwed. Just explain (which I am sure you will do) and you’ll be fine. If it had been like 6 months then maybe, but not one week.

I had a great experience at Microsoft, and would like to keep that door open in my mind, though my last connect has what I would call unfair characterizations due to a unique chain of events.

Hi Fishes,

Thanks.

Today I was watching an old No Reservations episode, where Bourdain was talking about how the Khmer Rouge erased all prior history in Cambodia and made their regime start at Year Zero. There is an eerie parallel between this and what is going on with the Left today. What will happen to our country if everything is destroyed - first, statues; next, the history books; following this, people’s homes and livelihoods; and finally, death to people who don’t agree with the new regime.
