I had six hours worth of Zoom interviews with an AmLaw100 firm on Monday and Tuesday last week. I haven’t heard back on anything yet - when is “too” long to have not heard back and when should I reach out to their in-house recruiter for some kind of update?

Hi all - got my offer late yesterday and gave notice at my current firm today. Thank you for your insights and I hope those of you still waiting for an offer hear back soon!

I did something similar and they said “we are looking to hire soon, fast as possible, we will be in touch in four weeks” so maybe that’s normal

Did they give you any sort of timeline? If not, it’s probably okay to reach out to the recruiter on Friday this week, reiterate your interest in the firm, and ask if they can provide any estimate on the expected interview timeline.

Imo Friday emails get lost. People just want to be done for the week and not get another thing put on their plate.

I had the same type of response - no time line on this position, but I'll get back to you within a couple of weeks. It's so hard to be patient though, and even harder to not start to doubt that they picked you. For perspective, my interview was on the 10th.

I reached out to the firm recruiter on the 12th to say thanks for organizing everything and to ask about the next steps and she responded with what I wrote above. I'd like to reach out again, but I don't want to bug her and I don't know the best timing for that.

Many firms have hiring committees that meet every other week or once a month. Hopefully this is the holdup and you re in the hopper! Send a polite email to inquire on Friday AM.

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad.

Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.
