Harm in Callback Scheduled for Mid Next Week?

Hi all,

Although I offered full availability this week for a callback (I responded the morning after CB invitation email late last week), I was slotted in for interviews mid next week. This is a Chicago office of a V10 (if that matters). Fwiw, our school's OCI was last week.

I'm worried that this is too late in the timeline, and I'm considering emailing the recruiter, suggesting that I am eager to interview as soon as possible and to please let me know if any earlier slots become available.

Is this advisable? Would appreciate any thoughts!

Don’t email the recruiter. The timing is honestly fine. They wouldn’t have scheduled you for that date if they knew that at that point they weren’t going to make any offers. Just prep and you’ll be fine.

Yeah, it’s Friday now anyway. At this point interviewing before “mid next week” isn’t going to make any difference. (I also wouldn’t have advised you to ask this earlier; try for the earliest date possible of what they can offer you, but there’s nothing you can really do beyond that. As the post above me says, they don’t schedule people past times they don’t intend to make offers. And while anecdotally sometimes firms do make all their offers early, I don’t think it’s actually very common at all, because it’s just inefficient.)
