Scale of 1-10, how crazy is it to check-in email the CDs you interviewed with? Unless there’s been a terrible accident I’m pretty sure the recruiter is ghosting me. The not knowing is killing me!

Most likely there’s been a terrible accident. That or email and phones have been shut off at their home and office. Also their hard drive was probably wiped as well.

Laughing because I’m a recruiter and am currently Instagram stalking an SVP-level candidate who dropped off the face of the earth in the middle of the interview process. The ghosting goes both ways!

This is why you should always follow up the meeting with a thank you note with some meat to it. Open that line of communication, so you can naturally reopen it as things change.

Great advice!

How long has it been?

The holidays definitely make things drag out, but to go that long without a response from the recruiter is unacceptable. I had a lot of managers on vacation, I still responded to candidates to let them know where things stood. In this case, I would ping the recruiter a few times this week and I would mention in one of your emails that you’ll follow up with the CDs if you don’t hear from them just in case they’re no longer with the company. Hopefully that’s a subtle hint that their behavior is not acceptable, and in fear of being called out to the CD, they’ll get back to you. If not, then yes, go ahead and reach out to the CD directly.

I never minded if a candidate emailed me after meeting, if it’d been a few weeks and they hadn’t heard anything from our internal recruiters. If it was an external recruiter I’d always respond, and say I’ll check on it internally, but they should also check in with the ghoster.

Email the CD tomorrow. What have you got to lose? If you want the job, GET IT.

I’ve been prepping hard for M&A technicals (reading R&P, biws400) for a move to an MM IB firm but got hit up to interview for a T2 consulting firm (LEK, EYP, OY).

My goal is to break into PE potentially but I’m not sure if it’s worth putting in effort for T2 consulting interviews because I believe exits from T2 are more limited compared to an MM IB like JEF. My question really boils down to how do exits from a T2 compare to that of a top MMIB? Appreciate any and all insights!
