Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not uncommon for firms like Piper Sandler to conduct informal calls that function as interviews, even if they aren't explicitly labeled as such. These calls are often used to gauge interest, fit, and basic qualifications before moving candidates to formal first-round interviews.
If you haven't heard back after a week, it might be worth sending a polite follow-up email to the VP to express your continued interest and inquire about next steps. This shows initiative and keeps you on their radar. However, it's also wise to continue exploring other opportunities in parallel, as the process can sometimes be unpredictable.
Good luck, and keep networking!
