Career Resources
Based on previous WSO threads, it's not uncommon for firms like Houlihan Lokey to take a few weeks to respond to applications, especially for off-cycle roles. Given that the application opened on the 21st and you applied on the 23rd, it's still relatively early in the process. Many firms review applications in batches, and the timeline can vary depending on the volume of applicants and internal processes.
If you're eager for an update, consider waiting another week or two before reaching out. When you do, a polite follow-up email to the recruiter or HR contact listed in the job posting can be a good move. Keep it professional and concise, expressing your continued interest in the role.
Good luck with your application—Dubai is an exciting market for restructuring!
