Went through the interview process last Jan with another firm (had a referral). Made it past all of the interviews and in early March was told I would be receiving an offer. Then covid happens and at first it was a holding pattern from the recruiter then silence (have been no openings posted since). Loved the culture and it felt like the perfect fit. Still have the contact from the SMs and MD who interviewed me. When do I shoot mg shot? Wait for there to be an opening? Just so bummed.

Look for another job. Trust me, you will find another great firm that you will also like the culture. One thing I've learned is: if they wanna make you an offer, they WILL make you an offer. You could say you are participating in other process and is expecting an offer soon, and that you wanna know if they will send something by the end of the year. If they turn you down, that means they would turn you down already. If they make you an offer, great.

In addition to my previous comment, SC 2 is also right. Totally reasonable to keep that job on your back burner, but do not stop looking. You should assume you won’t get it and keep looking. If it works out, there’s really no harm.

Shoot your shot now

Yeah honestly that is a perfect message. Short, sweet, to the point. Just to remind them you’re still there. It’s the only reason I have my current job.

After you interview for a job is it acceptable to contact your interviewer on Linked in or is that like stalking? I don’t have another contact and I want to follow up with them but I don’t want to be annoying.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
