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 - it's a traditional buyout fund... I'm confused as to why the recruiter wouldn;t have said anything though - like a yes, no, or the fund is still deciding
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.
I also asked about getting my flights reimbursed, so seems pretty weird that it would be completely radio silent. I imagine that I'll hear back on Monday or it's a tacit no...
Recently had an off cycle final round interview on a Thursday and heard back Monday. This was for immediate start, so it may be less urgent if your interview was a summer start
HSP has ghosted me after a superday before and I had to call to get them to tell me no and initiate reimbursement process.
Turns out I did well and they want me to do even more interviews... Not the best response, but not terrible
Wow, more interviews after a superday?
Congrats - but agreed always a bit shitty to jump through more hoops
Yeah the PE interview process is pretty absurd..
It might be because this firm never hires consultants and wants m e to chat with more people "just to make sure" I'm the right fit
Gonna bump this thread - had the follow up interview the Thursday before Christmas and still haven't heard back - any thoughts on if I may still get the offer?
bump
Why don't you reach out wishing them a "Happy New Year!" and check in on the status of your candidacy on Monday? Nobody here can speculate any better than you can on this specific situation
