When to give up hope for callbacks?
Had OCI screeners this week in a secondary market and haven’t heard back from most of them. When would you give up hope of heading back?

Re: When to give up hope for callbacks?
A general rule of thumb is 2 business days -- if you interviewed on e.g. Monday and haven't heard by Wednesday night, almost certainly no luck. On rare occasion, people will get 1-2 week later CBs, but that's very very very uncommon.Anonymous User wrote:Had OCI screeners this week in a secondary market and haven’t heard back from most of them.

If you are travelling to this market for a CB, you can email recruiters to let them know that. They're sympathetic to wanting to schedule everything in one go.

Re: When to give up hope for callbacks?
Plenty of big firms have weekly (or less frequent) hiring committee meetings, especially in a secondary market without a huge assembly line summer class (so offers would go out on a rolling basis after each committee meeting). I do think 2 weeks is getting towards the outside date typically though.Anonymous User wrote:A general rule of thumb is 2 business days -- if you interviewed on e.g. Monday and haven't heard by Wednesday night, almost certainly no luck.

Re: When to give up hope for callbacks?
It depends on the firm (and on the screener interviewer - some take longer to submit their evals). Callback notifications typically arrive anytime from same day to seven/eight days. Most callbacks arrive within 1-4 days, but 5-7 isn't unusual. Same-day callback invites are extremely rare and only a very small handful of firms do that.
If you haven't heard anything by the 14-day mark, you've probably either been rejected or waitlisted, and should assume you're very unlikely to receive a CB.
