Postdoc Interview Invitation Thread 2022-2023/2024

[2bit_neuropsych]

Does anyone have a sense of when offers start to come out for non-match sites? The "wild west" aspect of applying to both match and non-match programs is... stressful lol

Members don't see this ad.

They have started. I’ve received a “we have made offers” email, from one site I interviewed with last week, early today.

I know someone who accepted a non-match offer at a peds neuro site at an academic medical center around Christmas time but I think it's super variable.

Has anyone heard from:
-Memphis VA-Neuro

Has anyone heard from:

I got an interview at St. Louis earlier this week for neuro

 

[uvm_drneuro]

Has anybody heard from Mayo Clinic postdoc yet? Interviewed this past week and still nothing.

 

[matryoshka_brain]

A site I interviewed with last week said they would make an offer this week. I have yet to hear anything (as of Thursday evening), would it be safe to say they made an offer to someone else?

I’m thinking of reaching out to ask about my status. Has anyone reached out to sites to explicitly ask where they are in the rank? Any tips on how to proceed? 😬

Hi all - I'm having a little dilemma. All of my sites follow the UND. Yesterday, I interviewed at a site, and they mentioned that they often fill slots before the UND (although they follow it) because they engage in the reciprocal offer process. However, at the end of the interview, they told me they were highly interested in bringing me on (and I feel the same). But- now I'm worried that their slots will fill simply because I won't get an offer prior to the UND, and thus, be able to request a reciprocal offer from them. Any thoughts on this?

In theory, sites that follow the UND would rank their applicants and give them offers according to that order on the UND. If you were ranked top by that site, they wouldn't just give your spot to the applicants ranked below you because they requested a reciprocal offer. It was probably additional info they wanted to give you when they discussed reciprocal offers. There were also applicants who were told they were top choices at the interviews but ended up not getting an offer (because you never know who you are up against). Your best bet is to do well in the upcoming interviews and finalize your ranking for when the UND comes so you are prepared for whatever offers you get.

Thank you for this @niceman - trying to remain logical and hopeful!
