How many others are still waiting to hear back post-interview? I have two I'm still waiting to hear back from.

Good luck to you too! Do you mind sharing where they were? I had one from the midwest (last week) and one from the south (this week).

Are you allowed to follow up like a week after the interview (as is the case for regular jobs) or is that faux-pas?

Probably faux pas unless you have a specific reason to follow up (eg the judge said he would make a decision by Monday and you call on Tuesday).

What if the judge something ambiguous like "...will get back to you in 2-3 weeks probably?"

Just let it be. I understand the anxiety—it's human nature to want to do something to improve your chances—but there's just no upside to pestering chambers about what's going on. If you have a legit reason to call (like you have an interview with another judge), then I think it makes sense to contact the judge to let him or her know about the situation. But if that's not your situation, I think the best thing you can do is to chill.

I would wait in any of the situations described above, including where judge says "I'll make a decision by Monday" and you're thinking about calling on Tuesday, except if you have a legitimate need for a quick decision. A week or two in chambers goes by in the blink of an eye and, while hiring is important, more urgent matters crop up all the time. Also, it may take a judge longer than he's anticipating to interview all the candidates he's interested in. It's virtually certain that the judge hasn't forgotten about you in a week or two, and calling chambers for an update too early could make you look unstable or come off as trying to pressure the judge.

What if I got my mom to call? Faux Pas?

But seriously, also waiting. Sucks... And it's only been a day.

Been exactly one week from the interview, and I'm dyyiiing here. With each day that goes by without a word, I'm sensing that my chances of offer is going down, down, down...

If the judge said they would take two weeks to make a decision but you haven't heard anything for three weeks, does this mean it's a ding?

No.

The judge I interviewed with does 4 rounds of interviews. 24 days went by after first interview to offer for second and that was a week ago--going to kill myself if each round takes a month.

That's so awful... good luck!!!

Lol have fun in Fairbanks.

A classmate recently went 9 weeks between interview and offer with radio silence in between. You never know until you get the ding letter.

Another anecdote... I know someone who went 4 months between interview and offer. Hang in there!

Did your classmate have any other interviews in between those 9 weeks?

Anyone else waiting to hear back from interviews for 2017?

I am. Been about a month since interview, no word either way.

I don't believe so.

Excuse my naiveté, but how do judges typically let one know about an offer?

Mail? Phone Call? Both?
