MM SA waitlisted?
had 2 30 minutes back to back interviews for a MM26SA with one junior in each round. havent heard back yet. interviewed 10 days ago. my connection told me offers havent gone out yet and that should be pretty much it (no more interviews). thought I was in good spot. networked with a MD since then. dont know what to do from here. anyone had gone through the same process? any advice?
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s what you need to know:
Waiting Period: It's not uncommon for MM firms to take some time before sending out offers. A 10-day wait is within a reasonable timeframe, especially if your connection confirmed that offers haven’t gone out yet. Smaller firms or MMs may have slower HR processes compared to BBs or EBs.
Next Steps:
Keep Networking and Applying: While waiting, continue networking and applying to other opportunities. As one WSO thread suggests, "fight the nerves with more applications and networking." This ensures you have a strong backup plan and keeps your momentum going.
Stay Positive: Many candidates have shared similar experiences on WSO, where patience and persistence paid off. Even if this opportunity doesn’t work out, your networking efforts and preparation will position you well for future roles.
