Little back story: over the last 1-2 months I had/have been interviewing with my number one firm. I had gone through 3-5 phone conversations and ultimately got told "hang tight, we will get back to you in a week or two to put something more formal together." Well the two weeks eclipsed recently, but I didn't get the response I had expected; quite honestly, the reverse. While I was very well liked [and would have been invited], given the ebb & flow they didn't think the timing was appropriate. Next steps: stay in touch, you are at the top of the list, etc. In full disclosure, throughout this process they made it clear there was no rush or immediate demand.
Obviously I am bummed. This was for a role I thought I could be hugely successful in -- PE + operational duties.
Looking for some advice as to how I should approach the situation. I would really love to find a way back into their grace or at the very least make damn sure I am at the top of the list. Ideas for follow-ups?
Thanks
Hate to be a pessimist, but every time I've been rejected from a role, they make up the same crap of you being at the top of the list. Just move on and be more aggressive, if you could land an interview there, you are at least as good as being able to get that PE job.
Sometimes you just have to get lucky with the timing. Look elsewhere, but keep an eye on that firm throughout the process for a potential opportunity.
