Wanted a few opinions.

After your final interview for a job, how long do you think it would take them to send you a response. Or better yet, how long do you guys wait before you actually send an “Update” email.

Curious to know what you would do.

I always send a thank you right after each interview. And normally at the end of an interview I will ask when I can expect to hear back. This allows me to give them the time they estimated without feeling too stressed. And then if I don't hear back within 24-48 hours of that window, I'll send a follow up. I normally give people a week between communicatiosn to send more follow ups

I always wait about 5-7 business days before following up. I don't want to be a pest, but I also don't want my time wasted either. If I don't hear back within 2-3 days of my follow up, I'm already moving on.

How do you deal with a manager / junior partner who is always nitpicking and questioning why you did what you did, or telling you what you did is the wrong way to do things? It’s generally prefaced with them only doing this to help you grow, but has the exact opposite effect on me. And then when you try to explain your POV, you’re tagged as being defensive. Generally ends me with saying I’m sorry. No other partners at the firm have ever raised any concerns on my communications or work product.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?

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?

Advice needed on handing in notice, I recently signed an offer letter and understand the screening process takes 4-6 weeks. I have a month's notice period and have agreed a preliminary start date in Feb.

I was planning on not handing my notice in until the checks had been completed so its all secured (not that I think I will fail any checks), but apparently I need a reference from my current employer not previous ones. Can't really do this without handing in notice can I?
