Lincoln Interview Response
I had a first round interview with Lincoln NYC for summer analyst about 4 weeks ago but have not heard back. I’m pretty sure I was ghosted, but has anyone heard back yet?

Career Resources
Given the competitive nature of summer analyst positions, especially at prestigious firms like Lincoln International, it's not uncommon for response times to vary. Here are a few steps you can take based on insights from the WSO community:
Follow-Up Email: If it's been 4 weeks since your interview, it's appropriate to send a polite follow-up email to your point of contact. Express your continued interest in the position and inquire about any updates regarding your application status.
Network: Utilize any connections you might have within the firm or industry to gain insights into the hiring timeline. Sometimes, internal contacts can provide unofficial updates or advice on next steps.
Prepare for Other Opportunities: While waiting to hear back, continue applying and preparing for interviews with other firms. The investment banking field is highly competitive, and it's beneficial to have multiple options.
Reflect on Your Interview: Use this time to reflect on your interview performance. Consider any areas for improvement or questions you found challenging. This reflection can help you in future interviews.
Stay Positive: The waiting period can be challenging, but maintaining a positive outlook is crucial. The recruitment process in investment banking can be lengthy and unpredictable.
Remember, the hiring process can be lengthy, and delays in response do not always indicate a negative outcome. Keep networking and stay prepared for any opportunity that may arise.
