Career Resources
Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not uncommon for coffee chats to act as a first-round filter, especially for firms like William Blair or others in the IB space. These chats are often used to gauge fit, passion, and sometimes even technical knowledge. While some coffee chats may prioritize diversity candidates initially, this isn't always the case. Being at a target school can work in your favor, as employees often forward résumés of candidates from target schools for these chats.
If you haven't heard back yet, it might be worth following up politely with the recruiter or the person who posted the opportunity. Timing can vary, and sometimes responses are delayed depending on the volume of applications. Keep networking and ensure your résumé is in the hands of the right people to maximize your chances.
