Too early to freak out about not having offers?
I have been on 5 cbs already (no V10s, or firms that seem to have already given out offers) and have not heard anything from any of them yet. While one firm said they do reviews every week and try to get back to candidates, it has been over a week since I interviewed with them, which means they probably would have voted on my candidacy already. It's also been a week since my first two cbs... nothing yet Should I automatically assume I've been dinged and move on?

Yes, it's too early to freak out. Stop. It's not even September yet....Anonymous User wrote:I have been on 5 cbs already (no V10s, or firms that seem to have already given out offers) and have not heard anything from any of them yet.

Re: Too early to freak out about not having offers?
I know it's tough, but do not freak out. I went through six callbacks before I got my first offer. It had been over a week and a half since my first callback. I received three more offers over the next two days. Your odds of getting at least one offer out of five callbacks are very high. Congrats on all your callbacks and good luck!

Re: Too early to freak out about not having offers?
You've been on five callbacks by the end of August while people are striking out altogether. Your odds are better than most. You must be at least an okay interviewer to have a lot of callbacks, and you must be qualified to have a lot of callbacks, so, stop sweating it; chances are that something will come together for you, and very soon.

Re: Too early to freak out about not having offers?
Offers take about a week after CBs at most firms, even in NYC (different for some firms, but most take a week or so). If your interviews were all within the past week or two, you are freaking out for absolutely no reason at all--you haven't even been rejected anywhere yet.
