Jefferies SF FT 2024

Based on previous WSO threads, it's common for candidates to experience delays in hearing back after initial interviews. Here are a few points to consider:

1. Recruitment Process Delays: It's not unusual for firms to take some time to get back to candidates after the first round of interviews. This can be due to various reasons, including internal discussions, scheduling conflicts, or the volume of candidates being interviewed.

2. Follow-Up: If you haven't heard back within a week, it might be a good idea to send a polite follow-up email to the recruiter or the person who coordinated your interview. This shows your continued interest in the role and can sometimes expedite a response.

3. Other Candidates' Experiences: In similar situations discussed on WSO, candidates have reported varying timelines for feedback. Some hear back within a few days, while others might wait a couple of weeks.

4. Next Steps: If you are put on hold or asked to wait, it doesn't necessarily mean a negative outcome. As seen in the McKinsey interview thread, being put on hold can sometimes mean they are considering you for another role or waiting for the right timing.
