I emailed a firm on Monday for an update on my application after completing a second round interview on the 14th. They have not repsonded to me. Should I email them again today in hopes for a response before the weekend? I do not want to annoy them but the wait is killing me and my sisters (who have corporate careers and have gone through recruitment processes) said that they are taking too long....thoughts? If I annoy HR would that impact my chances of getting the role lol

I would personally wait until Monday before following up again, and if you haven’t heard from them by then call them.

    I wouldn’t email. Ultimately if they want you they’ll contact you. If they want you, don’t reduce your chances by annoying them. If they don’t want you, emailing them won’t change anything. I know it’s difficult but hold off.

    did anyone btw contacted them?
    Sincerely speaking I am trying to recover from Covid, so I have other priorities like getting my breath back. I was talking to a friend and she is waiting to hear from Clyde and we both feel like that applications are more complicated than ever!

    HSF AC was going so well until the final interview then I threw it in the bin. GOD that was embarrassing 😂😭
    I'm sorry to hear your final interview didn't go as well as you had hoped. It might not have gone as badly as you think, manifest positive outcomes!! I'm rooting for you 🤞🏼

    I hope you don't mind me asking and no worries if you don't want to talk about it and just put it behind you (😂), but would you be able to say a little about the structure of the AC? I have one with HSF in a couple of weeks and have no idea how best to prepare/what to expect...

    TIA x

    Hahaha love this. When they said they had a hard time picking AC candidates they were clearly not lying apparently.

    Perhaps our work was so good it brings too much pain and displeasure for them to press the PFO button!

    Is there much point applying to Sidley unless you've got a first from Cambridge, an MBA and President of every society under the sun at uni?
    I applied and got invited to interview with a 2:1 from Durham (average of 64%), but rejected them, as I decided US law wasn't for me. Happy to share my application if you'd like?
