Subject: Seeking Advice After 3 Months of Silence
Hi everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well.
I wanted to share my experience and seek some advice. Back in January, I applied for the Evidence Lab Alternative Data Analyst position at UBS through a referral. I’m genuinely excited about this opportunity; however, I’ve heard nothing from UBS in the past three months. I’ve also received rejections for other roles at the company, so I know they do communicate decisions, which makes this silence even more concerning.
I’ve reached out to several people and recruiters on LinkedIn, but unfortunately, I haven’t received any responses. I’m starting to wonder if I’m still being considered for the position.
Any advice on how to proceed or insights into the process would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

It’s understandable to feel nervous after not hearing back for so long, especially when you’re really interested in a position. Here are a few suggestions to consider:
Follow Up: If you haven’t done so already, it may be worth sending a polite follow-up email to the recruiter or hiring manager. Express your continued interest in the role and inquire about any updates on your application status.
Network: Since you’ve mentioned reaching out on LinkedIn, try to connect with others in the department or team you’re applying to. Sometimes a direct connection can yield more information. Just remember to be respectful of their time.
Check in with Your Referrer: If you applied through a referral, reaching out to the person who referred you could be beneficial. They might have some insights or be able to check in on your application status.
Stay Positive and Explore Other Options: While it’s great to remain hopeful about this opportunity, it’s also wise to keep exploring other job leads. Continue applying to other positions that interest you to keep your options open.
Be Patient: The hiring process can often take longer than expected, especially in large companies. Sometimes internal processes can delay communication.
Keep your spirits up! Good luck!
