I interviewed for a role at BlackRock three weeks ago and got a call from the recruiter a week later saying they liked me and wanted to move forward with an offer. I haven't heard anything since... Does it usually take this long?

Yes, in my experience at least, follow up with the recruiter they are very disorganized.

Yes it can absolutely take that long. Follow up and keep following up until you get an answer. They might be disorganized or they might just be waiting on other people to do their part in the hiring process.

That's quite a wait, but if they said they wanted to move forward with an offer I would take them at their word.

I mean, it *can*, but it usually doesn't. Have you followed up with the recruiter at all? That would be my first step. Let them know you're still very interested and were wondering if there was any update on the status of your candidacy. GL!

Yes, usually. Did you ask the recruiter for an update? Just wait for a couple more days or another week.

Should I leave my company? Been here 1.5 years and was told I was getting a management promotion 5-6 months ago.Still no solid traction and they are opening up a req for it 😑no one on the current sales team has ever been promoted (2 years)except our boss who has been promoted 3 times. We hit quote every month/q/year by a lot. I have several offers at double my OTE. Already asked what the timeline is for a new manager and I was told soon and I'm "up for consideration." What would you do here?

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
