Follow-up Etiquette (Networking)

Wondering what all your thoughts are on following up after networking with Analysts/Associates/VPs when they say they will speak to HR for you/put your name in for you. Is it right to follow up and ask how they went speaking to HR or should you just leave them? If you don't follow up, how will you ever know if you're on the 'interview list' or not?

Would be good to hear from current Analysts/Associates/VPs. Is it annoying or does it show good initiative?

Nihil iste iste ipsam. Voluptatibus repellat odio nulla explicabo voluptatibus assumenda.

Voluptatibus enim asperiores nulla omnis tempora eum ullam. Quam dolores perferendis debitis. Voluptatem ut fugit blanditiis eveniet. Quo quidem quia animi aut similique laboriosam ullam. Incidunt iste distinctio odio.

Voluptatibus fugit voluptatem rerum quasi itaque natus. Illo eligendi modi minus.

Est autem maxime qui quam earum. Et est doloremque et qui.
