It’s been over a week since I applied for the Slack solutions engineer role with a referral. Although I don’t quite meet the YOE, I have very relevant experience to the job description. I anticipated hopefully being able to snag an interview but still haven’t heard back. Wanted to know if anyone could provide insight for me regarding what I should expect. I know the job market is awful right now but I heard SF does value referrals so I was hoping I’d have a shot at an interview at least.

I would just give it some time. These things tend to take time, so you just gotta be patient. If you really want to check on the progress, you can send an email to your point of contact and follow up regarding your applications. Otherwise, just try to keep your focus on applying to more jobs just in case. You're gonna drive yourself a little nuts if just wait idly. Wish you the best of luck in the job hunt!

When I got a SF referral it took 4 weeks until I received my first message to have an interview. Another 2 weeks before round 2 interview then went silent for almost a month before they said they were “no longer moving forward with the role”

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about.
