i interviewed a tier 2 firm on Friday the week before thanks giving. it has been a few days but I haven't heard back from them. I emailed the partners who interviewed me a thank letter after interview also haven't got any reply.
Is it normal? or should I expect I have got rejected?
Hello!
No, it does not mean you are rejected. After interviews, they always come back with an answer.
Usually is advisable to wait arround a week before reaching to HR. However, there were holidays last week, so I would wait a bit longer in your case
Hope it helps!

Hi, it usually requires up to 3 weeks. However, do not hesitate to contact HR without worrying about bothering them: they are there to help

Hi there,
Normally it is not a great sign if you have no news for several days after a final, but it also depends on the company and period of the year.
Strategy& for example may take a week or more to extend offers in some geographies.
Thanksgiving may have also slowed down the process if you are in the US.
To accelerate, you can follow-up with HR after one week and they should be able to provide some feedback.
Good luck!

Hi,
Taking into account it was Thanksgiving - that's totally fine. I would also not expect partners to reply to such e-mails. Keep calm and wait for the results

Hi there,
I agree with what has been said about holidays making the process slower, as the answer doesn't usually require so much time. Just wait a littlebit more until they reach you.
If that doesn't happen in about a week feel free to contact them, there could be some other reasons for the delay.
Hope it helps,

haha your impatience is driving you nuts :). Its not a reject until you get one. Given holidays in US and COVID, a little delay is okay. Please have other options going in parallel to remove this anxiety. Fingers crossed for you
Hi there,
Firstly, try not to worry to much. Your description says it all (Thanksgiving cuts short the week and a lot is happening to distract Partners...in consulting "days off" just mean you need to do the same work in less time :) )
Be patient. AND, remember that timing is important. In the future, avoid important emails on Fridays and right before holidays...Tuesdays/Wednesdays are generally best!
Hi,
It does not mean you are rejected. They might take time to do the write up and schedule a debrief.
Best to follow up with HR after 1-2 weeks just to be sure.
Best,
