When should you stop following up after a great interview? Was told I was too pricey for one market, so they asked me if I would consider another in the future. I said yes, and now it’s been a week.

“In the future” doesn’t scream “a week” to me. Sounds like you’ve priced yourself out for the moment.

like

It kind of sounds like they meant if something else opens up in the future in another market, unless they specified one.

like

Yeah, “in the future” doesn’t mean a week. It could mean months, years, or maybe never. If they actually had an opening in the other market they would have talked about it on the spot.

like

“In the future” means a hypothetical reality where they have won a lot more steady business and have the money to pay you. They have no idea when that will be, but theyre being optimistic.

Theyre saying “sorry we dont have enough money to pay you, its not you its us, can we call you sometime?”

One week is you misreading that whole thing. It’ll be quite a while. But you can feel good they liked you.

I interviewed with a top big law firm last week for a Senior Project Manager role. I felt fairly good and confident post the interviews. Sadly I was not given the offer.

Prior to the interviews, I felt I needed more experience …. Lol. Anyone else felt the same?

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me.
