Hey guys,
I had a first round interview for a lateral position about 1 week ago. I forgot to ask when I should expect to hear back, which is killer cause now I don’t know what to expect and I haven’t heard anything.
Should I follow up? Or is 1 week after too soon? Also for anyone who’s been through lateral recruiting, is this a standard amount if time not hear back? Can’t help but feel like I’m already dinged.
