If they are replying and checking for your app its a good sign. Push and be persistent until they tell you to f off aka they want someone else. Dont downplay yourself and be confident.

 

i would follow up a week after they replied to your email. Say you jsut wanted to see if they recieved any word from HR on the role etccc. do you know anyone that can call a senior and put in a good word?

 

reaching out to the analysts may be too much. i would give it another few days and give the seniors a call directly or shoot them a follow up email. in the meantime, keep applying.

 

Just relax. You are overthinking it. You are fine. Just dont reach out to too many people as it may come off as both desperate and annoying.

 

Dude, you already reached out multiple times and got confirmation that you were early and still in the running. Don't network yourself out of a job. You have to keep in mind that in this business it takes anywhere from 2-6 months+ to close a deal, so 1.5 weeks is not an exorbitant amount of time in these peoples' world. If you don't hear back in the 2-2.5 week range, then I think it warrants you throwing another line in the water.

Candidly, the fact that you are obsessing over it is not a good sign. Just don't email any of the rest of them for a while.
