It has been one week and I have not heard back from an interview. Should I reach out to the recruiter for an update?

Did they say when they'll get back

Or actually maybe wait 2ish days and then ask?

Yes. Send them an email as a follow-up.

It could mean:
- they are interviewing other people right now
- they didn’t really like you enough to offer you the job right away and are seeing how the other candidates are
- they don’t have enough quality applicants and are waiting for more people to apply
- the hiring manager is “too busy” to make a decision right now (poor excuse)

Or any combination of the above.

I would reach out regardless to see what you can decipher.

I will tell you we just hired the first person we interviewed, after two rounds and a total of 8 weeks from start to finish. I wasn’t completely thrilled with the person initially and wanted to wait to see who else applied. Even though the whole thing was actually micromanaged by my boss, even though I was technically the hiring manager…

Sure you can. Just give them a call or maybe send an email asking for an update.

Hello friends, looking at a JP opportunity and hopefully going into the offer process after today’s interview. What I need help is understanding the comp structure in non front office roles ? In Goldman we have PATC ( per annum total comp ) which is nothing but base + “promised” bonus % + RSU.. how do you have total comp defined in JP ? the bonus also a % of base and almost agreed upon ? Example my bases is 200k and bonus is 25 % etc ?

I was told to apply to a hospital job by someone interested in interviewing me. The recruiter reached out. Asked for my availability but then didn’t respond when I gave her my availability. I followed up. We scheduled a phone call (she said she’d call) and then she didn’t call! At this point, I’m thinking they’re totally disorganized. Is this common practice? I’ve never dealt with a recruiter so I don’t know.

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

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!!
