Recently interviewed for a role, felt like it went really well, good conversation and everything.

But now it’s been a few days and I haven’t heard anything back.

I always get stuck here, how soon is too soon to follow up? I don’t want to come off pushy, but I also don’t want to seem uninterested.

Do you usually wait a few days, a week, or just go for it?

I’ve been in this spot so many times. I really don’t know what’s the perfect time to reach out but I have been told next day for a thank you and then a week after, to check on the situation. Good luck!

A few days isn’t a big deal yet. Did you send a follow up thank you email after the interview was concluded? Do that if you haven’t. I would wait until sometime next week to follow up if you haven’t heard anything. Just to show you’re still interested.

If it has been a few days and you haven't heard back, I would follow up. I usually wait a couple days and then send a follow-up email. If anything, I think it really shows that you want the role.

A few days is acceptable. Shows you are still interested and will hopefully keep your interaction with them fresh in their mind

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days. I still have other interviews scheduled and some for higher paying jobs (around 90k) What should I do?
I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

Flunked in an interview 😞
