Interviewed with a bank that has a real estate investing arm (think JPM AM, MSREI, GS AM). Most of my last round super days were spread out over 3 weeks ago, with the last one being last last thursday. Haven’t heard anything last or early this week and thinking of following up tomorrow if I don’t hear anything. Am i cooked? The past few rejections i’ve got have been around this timeframe when I reach out

Based on the most helpful WSO content, you're not necessarily "cooked" yet, but the timeline is definitely stretching into the territory where follow-up is appropriate. Here's what you should do:
Follow Up Politely: If you haven’t heard back by tomorrow, send a polite follow-up email. Keep it short and professional. For example:
Timing Matters: WSO threads suggest that following up 1-2 weeks after the last interaction is standard, but since it’s been over 3 weeks, it’s definitely time to check in.
Be Prepared for Any Outcome: While delays don’t always mean rejection, it’s wise to mentally prepare for any response. Some WSO users have noted that rejections often come after a similar timeframe, but others have shared success stories where they received offers even after long waits.
Consistency is Key: If you don’t get a response to your follow-up, wait another week and try again. Persistence (without being pushy) can sometimes make a difference.
Good luck! Whether it’s this opportunity or the next, staying proactive and professional will always serve you well.

Yes, cooked AF.
maybe, maybe not, brutha. It is what it is. Reach out and see what the deal is. You're going to get no's in this business until your blue in the face so get used to it.
Going through the same thing, ghosted.. keep your head up!
