IronCondorGorilla, hey, look at the bright side, at least you didn't get a ton of monkey shit thrown at you...here is my best guess on threads that might be helpful:
More suggestions...
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
anybody? been 10 days since meeting with management and no contact yet
I haven't been hired at a large MM but I have interviewed around a lot of HFs. It is not a structured process with specific timelines and it is not like undegrad recruiting, so there is no huge rush to compete with other offers. In the day to day work, recruiting is always the last priority. Earnings season has started so everyone is crazy busy. Probably different people waiting to hear back from different people on what they want to do. It took me two and half weeks to move on to another round even though the PM loved me apparently, they just moved slowly. Or you could be their second choice. Or an asteroid hit their servers. The unfortunate answer is it is impossible to tell and the best you can do is be patient and follow up at appropriate intervals. It is a shitty answer but it is also the only thing you can do.
ya makes sense. Only concern is the other 5/6 rounds were pretty quick regarding communication after them
Well didnt get it for a reason I couldn't have ever guessed. "we know you can do the job but some people didn't think you wanted it enough". I guess I did months of interviews and didn't want it ha
That is brutal sorry to hear - I got rejected at a place where all of their current analysts are GS/MS/JPM + BX/APO/TPG/etc. and I come from no investment banking and just small LOs. Networked my ass off. Shared reservations with them that I recognize I am a non traditional candidate and they said " oh well we don't have strict rules about needing xyz or only hiring from these places, but it has been a coincidence most come from there". Absolutely crushed 3 rounds of interviews. Feedback was "you were a slam dunk when it came to fit, communication, passion, intelligence, and abilities, but we really need someone with a bit more experience to step in".
Oh well, we keep at it!
Been there, too. In my exp, I would follow up only post three weeks.
We're going through the process on our team. We really liked the first guy but there's a minimum number of candidates we need to interview and it's earnings season. P&L is more important than adding someone on the team right now, especially the way the market has been in Jan.
