Recent laterals: how long did it take to start getting interviews in this market? I had friends at firms refer me on Monday and I am so antsy to get out of my firm that I am wondering when I might expect an interview invitation?

Edit: I applied for M&A positions.

A partner referred me and it took 2.5 weeks to get an email from recruiting to schedule an interview.

I had some firms call to schedule screening interviews the morning after I applied online and some that responded more than a month later. Where I ultimately ended up (just started) responded about a week or two after I applied online with no referral.

My experience was that M&A jobs moved really quickly, but I applied through recruiters

What year are you?

First year. First firm wasn’t a great culture fit and doesn’t do the work I’m most interested in (tech).

Although my friends who referred me are midlevels.

Honestly it really depends.

Time until interview/interview likelihood
= market hotness times firm’s need times internal status of referrer times (your objective marketability divided by firm’s prestige)

The market changes week to week. Right now I’d say it’s a bit cooler than it was earlier but I’m not sure

Did anyone face that in technical round or any interview rounds, interviewer tell you, feedback is good and after few days when you call hr to check the update, they will tell they have received negative feedback.

Not one, it has been happening same with all the interviews.

Don't know, what they expect and why they lie infront of us.

Please provide honest feedback even though it's negative!!

Also then after multiple followups got an update from HR that they don't have any requirements for the position. Now it's been more than a month what should I do ? Any suggestions would definitely help.

The seniors are too busy. Just joined this firm so lateraling isn’t a viable option.

I'm pretty annoyed because the partner mentioned it TWICE in the call with clients for my lack of detail.

Midlevel didnt apologize or even acknowledge this issue. I've never been so mad in my career.
