Did I get dinged - Applying for a boutique

I'm applying for a boutique for SA in NYC. My friend got a first round interview on Tuesday, I didn't hear anything back so I emailed an analyst I networked with yesterday and she said they are hoping to reach out the next day (today) regarding first round interview dates. I did not hear back today. Does this signify I got dinged?

You probably did, unfortunately. It's possible that they're taking a while to reach out to candidates, but if your friend already heard from them to schedule a first-round, it seems like you probably got dinged.

Seems so. My friend's case was kind of special though. Very few people from my school at least networked with them. He went the extra step to have coffee with one of the analysts when he went home in NYC. I might be the only other one that did any networking (15 minute informational interview, went very well).

However she did say last night today hopefully would be the day they tell us, so she's just one day late on it.

 

Stop worrying. There's nothing you can do about it either way. Focus efforts on other leads and if they come back with an interview opportunity then great.

 
hot1590I had a case in which I got my superday invitation 4 days after the deadline that HR told me.

pls the fact that this is boutique, is this supposed to make me feel better?

The only thing that will make you feel better is the invitation letter. Obviously this is a stressful time so just chillax. You just never know what can happen. Good luck with your process.
