Interviewed at Citadel...it's been 2 days and no response

I like my recruiter and he's been super fast, so I know he isn't slacking off. Citadel and recruiter said decisions are made fast and I'd know between 1-2 business days. I interviewed Wednesday so it's been 2 days and I haven't heard anything. Is this bad news?

For what role? I have an on-site next week. Can you share your interview experience? Is it leetcode heavy ?

Hmm..I got like 1 LC Medium. I also got system design. Everything else was experience oriented questions. I had to make working solutions in coderpad for every round though. Also, I hear they are brutal. If you don't do well in the first 2 rounds, you get your onsite cancelled immediately and walked out. You fly in first class to either Chicago or NYC. Also you stay in a kickass 4star hotel.

Is the LC tagged ? Also what kind of system design is it more like finance related or general system design? How many rounds total ?

Mine ghosted me after the onsite. Their recruiters generally suck like that

A9 NiiSama OP Dec 13, 2019

How well did you do?

Did decent on the tech portion but I guess failed the manager interview. Or someone did a bit better on the tech rounds

Wait 7 business days then start worrying

Give it a couple of days. I got a response after 3 days but it could have taken a week. If they don't get back to you in a week push your recruiter to check in but don't freak out. If after two weeks you don't hear back then it's probable that they moved on

A9 NiiSama OP Dec 14, 2019

Did you get an offer?

Goldman Sachs goldyboi Dec 14, 2019

Yeah
