How long is reasonable before following up on application?

Post by Anonymous User » Mon Jul 31, 2023 4:24 pm

I recently applied for a position at a lit boutique where I’d be a highly competitive applicant. Coming from big law, this boutique is my top firm option and I’d really love to work there, but I haven’t heard anything back yet.

I’m curious what y’all think about following up generally and how long is reasonable before a follow-up is acceptable. Thanks!
