What’s the right way to follow up after an interview that went quiet? It’s been two weeks since they said they’d be in touch, I’m torn between checking in or letting it go. I don’t want to seem desperate.

I would just follow up, I normally follow up after two weeks, saying hey just checking in and if the role is still available.

I also now started asking during the end interviews about timelines and dates. When should I hear back, etc. and that has helped a lot because if a recruiter says if you don’t hear back from me by this date, reach out.

Magic email

Other than an initial thank you note, I don’t think that any further action from you is needed. I firmly believe that people know perfectly well who candidates are & how to reach them. If they haven’t done that it’s for a litany of reasons, money, shifting scopes, or just that it’s hard to get everyone to agree to the same candidate.

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
