I went through four (what I think were) great interview rounds. The exec said the others said good things about me and we had a pleasant, fluid conversation. I followed up with the recruiter after 2 days to see if he had any updates to share. That was yesterday and no response. I am slowly dying inside…

Probably waiting to hear back from their first choice candidate (client’s kid or something) before letting you know. Either that or just bottlenecked by some internal procedures. Either way wouldn’t worry til like 7-10 days after last interview

It’s only been 3 days. Corporations don’t move that fast.

2 days is premature, especially in the summer when people take vacation. I'd wait a week to follow up. In the meantime, make sure to send a follow up email to thank your interviewers.

If it makes you feel any better, I've been stuck in that situation for a week and just found out I'm "too perfect" for a role. I probed to see if that was BS excuse, nope, genuinely worried I'll outgrow the position too quick. Gutted. Also ironic as here I was with imposter syndrome asking myself "can I do the job being asked?"

Sounds good, buddy. So wise.

I am going crazy 🥲

If it’s meant to be, it will work out ♥️

A few days is reasonable, don’t overthink

Ty!

Like others says, a few days is normal. Anything less than 2 weeks seems normal these days

As a recruiter I try to reach out to clients every 2-3 days for feedback but I can be persistent without it impacting the view of my candidate. For a direct applicant it’s hard to follow up frequently without seeming over eager or potentially annoying.

Find the balance and be as patient as you can. Good luck!
