Did anyone have a screener/cb at Willkie and know how long it takes them to get back to you? Or if they still ding via snail mail?

CB from Willkie this past Monday. Silence since, but they said the hiring committee won't meet until next week.

You should sign up for USPS' mail notification. They email you an actual picture of the piece of mail that's on it's way to you with the sender info the second they get it, that way the wait should be at least a few days less if you have a ding. Takes like 30 seconds to sign up too.

You are my favorite person on the planet right now thank you!! I've been dying all day waiting to hear (had my cb yesterday) so glad I can relax for a bit over the weekend. also did you have two rounds of CB's or one?

Would it be weird to send a follow up email to the recruiter? At least in my case, I was told that I should expect to hear the week after my interview and haven't heard anything since

Yeah, I was told 1-2 weeks. Going to follow up with recruiting on Monday if I don’t hear by then. I do think pre-OCI is slower than usual though. I got an offer from STB more than 3 weeks post-CB.

This actually makes me feel somewhat better because I received my offer from STB about 2 days after my CB, so it looks like there isn't too much consistency and that I still have a shot (lol at my grasping for hope)

It also seems to be the case that many OCIs are starting next week, so firms might just not have quick turnarounds because they want to compare you with a larger pool of students, either from your school or others.

Ah thank you!! I actually JUST heard back from recruitment a few minutes ago- though they screwed up my interviews so i'm going in for round 2, so I don't think it means that the hiring committee met or anything. But i'll post if I end up getting a ding/offer. Did you have a full on CB (with lunch and everything)?

All job fair screeners.

Dunno about NYC office. DC office gave me a Skype screener six days after I applied in early July, CB five minutes after the screener, offer a few hours after the CB. Whole process (application --> offer) took less than two weeks. They said moving quickly was a priority.
