No dings, but classmates have gotten CBs

Post by Anonymous User » Thu Aug 21, 2014 9:51 pm

So yeah, some firms I interviewed with have given callbacks to some of my classmates, but I have not been dinged in 2 weeks. Is there any hope for me? In a secondary market FWIW.

When did you interview? How many firms? At OCI? doesn't sound good but you are leaving out more facts. Also stop reading the tea leaves.

Yeah at OCI. about 14 firms, and I know of friends who have CBs at multiple of the same firms -- but still no dings from them. I've been dinged by other OCI firms, but it's been about 2 weeks for the remaining 14 and radio silence.

Edit: I know, stop reading tea leaves and massmail. I am. But I still cant help but read some tea leaves at the same time.

If it's been two weeks you need to: immediately email all firms expressing continued interest and start mass mailing.
Shit. Still Wert.

Both my friend and I had a screener interview with this firm. My friend hear back for a CB in two days, I didn't hear anything. Almost two full weeks later, I got invited for a CB as well. So yes, it may be true that you still have a chance, but I wouldn't rely on it. I think I was a rare case.
