Post-Superday Jitters. Would like to settle some uncertainty

I recently had a superday. I spoke with the recruiter about when I should hear back and he said 1 to 2 weeks. On the other hand, I spoke to another candidate who was contacted after the superday to set up a phone call for next week.

I interpret this as me not getting an offer or getting on the waitlist at best. Could anyone chime in with their experiences to confirm my suspicions?

 

I think that it is common with BB’s to extend offers to their preferred candidates within 0-72 hours after the superday. Could be longer in some instances. Although HR usually gives candidates a longer timeframe for obvious reasons.

With that said, 2 weeks out usually means waitlisted or simply no offer.

Don’t lose hope but don’t stop applying/networking at other places. The grind doesn’t stop until you get an offer.

 

Hey Paul. Thanks for your response.

The candidate who received the email was definitely a stellar performer. I was wondering if there is a particular protocol for firms to reach out before MY given timeframe (1-2 weeks).

Is it possible for that individual's situation to be an exception rather than a general roll out of offers? AKA, am I still in the runnings (rather than being declined or waitlisted)? Thanks.
