I recently interviewed for my dream firm and I am pretty sure that I am waitlisted since I received an email today stating that the "team is still discussing candidate feedback." Is there anything I can do on my part to improve my odds? Is it worth sending an email expressing my continued interest? What should I do?

If this is a larger firm, I would say to not get your hopes up and to keep interviewing.
What would you classify as larger?
A BB or MM shop.
Depends, what type of role is it?
IB, PE, etc
IB
why are you showing me attitude, im not helping you anymore
Ngl u give off bot vibes from that comment, keep interviewing
No there's nothing you can do at this point. If you start saying "this is my dream firm!" you come off as desperate and kind of weird.
Give it another week but I would mentally view this as a rejection - if you get good news that's awesome, but you need to keep hustling and interviewing
Thanks. Hoping for the best but I know the chances get slimmer with time. Will keep hustling regardless!
Sorry this happened man - not sure read above
