Haven't heard back since final round - please help?
I am a mid-level (senior associate / VP) that interviewed for a role at a PE fund. For context, I left the industry and have been trying to get back in. The process is managed internally (is a large fund) so I am not working with a recruiter.
Anyways, I raced through the entire process (~20 days from first round, case study, debrief and final round) as I had a competing process which I flagged. They were happy to expedite. I finished my final round 4 days ago, and haven't heard anything since. The interviewer asked me to flag any changes in my other process.
When I spoke to the internal recruiter, they said that there was someone else doing a final round - they said that yesterday but I'm not sure when this person is doing their final round. I am getting anxious as if I was the preferred candidate, I thought I would've heard something, as I also flagged my competing process pretty recently.
I'm pretty sure, I might be the first person to finish the process.
For context, this isn't a structured process - managed internally, without an external recruiter, and I applied on linkedin.
Has anyone received an offer for SA/VP after 1-2 weeks? If so, were you kept warm?
There is literally no standard process. There could be another candidate, a decision maker on vacation, a deal in exclusivity, a million reasons for elongation.
Good luck. None of us can predict the outcome.
If it goes longer than a week, I'd guess you're not getting it / maybe they put you on hold but you didn't convince them enough to make an offer without continuing to interview. Until then, totally reasonable that they may just be finishing up with other candidates if you were early
Be patient. Waiting sucks. Try to distract yourself next week or two.
I hope you got the offer from the competing process?
Thanks everyone. Bumping in case anyone has other thoughts. It’s been exactly 5 business days.
Interviewer at the end asked me to flag competing processes / how it develops (I had already flagged this to get the process expedited), but still nothing
