Hey everyone,
I had my final round interview with a Partner at a consulting firm last Monday and I think it went well. It's now Wednesday and I haven't heard back yet.
Would you recommend sending a thank you or a follow-up email to HR at this point? Or is it better to just wait it out?
Thanks in advance
Usually thank you emails are sent right after the interview, not a few days later, so sending one now might feel a bit awkward; in any case, it won’t really have any impact on the outcome (neither positive nor negative), so if you feel like doing it, there's no harm.
I would also avoid putting pressure directly on the Partner. If anything, it’s better to reach out to the recruiting team, but I’d suggest waiting at least 10–12 days before following up.
For now, I’d just sit tight.
Best,
Franco
Hi,
You are welcome to drop a thank you note, in case you'd like to use it as a gentle reminder! Having said that, it is perfectly normal that Partners get busy and may take some time to formally communicate the outcome.
The only thing you can do now is to relax and not stress (easier said than done!).
Keeping my fingers crossed for you! :)
Regards
Jimmy
Hey! First of all, congratulations on making it to the final round - that in of itself is a big deal
To answer your question: it doesn't hurt at all to send a short and sweet thank you e-mail. Do not stress about the silence, the turnaround time in this industry, especially in the decision rounds do typically take a bit of time
An e-mail to the partner with the relevant HR representative in CC wouldn't hurt :)
Best of luck!

Hi there,
You could send an email out to both - one to thank the partner, and one to the HR to ask for any updates.
I would not email the partner (he knows you are trying to chase him). Would contact HR / recruiting if possible. If you want to create the hint of pressure, you could refer to "other" ongoing processes you are involved in and would kindly appreciate an update from them.
