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.

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).

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!!
