Time to hear back during off-cycle PE

Had a superday interview with an SF fund on Thursday of last week. Sent out my thank you notes and reached out to HSP (the headhunters) and an associate there, yet haven';t heard anything. Does this mean that I didn't get the offer?

Probably not looking great... Is this a traditional LBO fund? If so, they tend to make decisions a lot quicker.

The other possibility is they need to finish up other interviews before they make a decision.

 

Yeah they honestly could be resource constrained and haven't gotten to the roundtable for some reason. If it's a small fund ($1bn) then it's certainly in the realm of possibility, but given the silence from the recruiters it doesn't look great.

 

HSP has ghosted me after a superday before and I had to call to get them to tell me no and initiate reimbursement process.
