Been a week since I finished R1 and haven't heard back.....
How cooked am I? Thought I did solidly on the behavioral, but stumbled a bit on the technical part :(

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not uncommon to experience delays in hearing back after R1 interviews, especially if the firm is still processing other candidates or finalizing decisions. A week isn't necessarily a bad sign, but it can be nerve-wracking.
Here’s what you can do:
Follow-Up Professionally: If you haven’t already, send a polite follow-up email to your recruiter or point of contact. Express gratitude for the opportunity and reiterate your interest in the role.
Reflect on Your Performance: While you mentioned stumbling on the technicals, firms often weigh behavioral and technical sections differently depending on the role. If you felt solid on the behavioral side, that could still work in your favor.
Prepare for Next Steps: Whether you move forward or not, use this time to refine your technical skills and prepare for potential future interviews. Review the areas where you stumbled and strengthen your understanding.
Stay Patient: Some firms take longer to respond, especially during busy recruiting cycles. A week isn’t necessarily a long time in the grand scheme of things.
If you’re feeling uncertain, keep networking and exploring other opportunities to ensure you have multiple options. Good luck!
