How long should I wait before following up?

I know results takes 1-2 weeks to finalize. I have been waiting for my MBB final round results for 13 days now. Is it okay to follow up with recruiter before 14 days or should I wait till 14-days period is over?

Sure! Nobody will sit there with a calendar counting a day or two.

Hi there,

It is totally fine to follow up now. You can follow up starting from 1 week after a final without any risk of appearing pushy if you write your email in the right way.

Best,
Francesco

Hi there,  

Yes, sure, you don’t need to count the days. You can contact HR to ask about the results after one week.

Have you asked recruiters already?  

All the best,
