Timeline to call back and reiterate interest after superday?
I had a recent superday with a BB and unfortunately didn't get a callback for an offer (around 3-4 days since the superday).
I'm obviously assuming I'm either waitlisted or rejected outright - but just not informed. They originally told me they would be back with decisions within 24 hours of the interview. Would it be within the bounds of reason to call one of the interviewers I made a good connection with to clarify my status/reiterate my interest? Should I wait till next week? Should I e-mail instead of call?
Dont call. They cant change anything unless they are very senior and likely wont. Just send a note and hope for the best.
either youre on hold or it's a no. in either case, checking in with someone won't make a difference. if they want to give you an offer, they will
I'm sorry, but this advice is kind of shit. Calling is not wise, but sitting and doing nothing is the worst thing you can do. At this stage (waitlist/rejection) you have to separate yourself from the other candidates somehow, and the only way to do that is sending a BRIEF and direct email. I did this a week after my BB superday, and received an offer the day after I sent the email (no lie). Only send to those who you REALLY clicked with, as they will be more receptive. If you didn't click with anyone, you are probably not going to get an offer any way. In any event, you're either on hold or rejected, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain if you act strategically.
I'm surprised you guys are saying not to call. I think calling shows more interest/initiative/aggressiveness. Maybe it's different for a superday situation.
Just curious, what did you write in your brief follow up email? It has been 8 days since my BB superday and I am considering following up or waiting a few more days.
In my opinion calling may be a bit too aggressive or presumptuous, and perhaps communicate a lack of grace. I do believe there are cases where a call may be warranted. For instance, if you were contacted after your superday and told to "sit tight", a call may be acceptable, but it is a delicate situation.
