As long as you feel good about it, I would keep emailing, but not start calling. These types of small offices (my own included) probably don't have dedicated HR so it comes down to an associate or VP to keep the process going. Sometimes the holdup can be for the MD to signoff. If they are busy and not dying for new blood this can slip a couple months. We originally had an idea of when we wanted to hire someone and ended up pausing for no good reason. Keep your head up but continue to look for other opportunities. If you get another offer, call your alumni contact at the first firm and ask him to respond. Best of luck.

 

My guess is that you've found what you're looking for based on the deleted post.

In todays world of emails, I strongly suggest separating yourself from the pack. Buy a nice note card that has just a picture and maybe a quote on the front of it. Blank inside. Send that person you interviewed with a note card simply saying you appreciate their time. Handwritten note cards go a long way. More so today than ever before.
