Ugh I recently did an interview for s&m and I think it went well but I felt very informal. I don’t know how to wait through till the result. I hate the anxiety. Any tips on how to deal?
The first thing I'd say is don't worry too much that you felt you were informal - I think the interviewing style lends itself to that if I'm honest, as it very much felt like just a chat about myself. I spent the few weeks after my interview cringing at the "joke" I made, and everyday I'd remember a new answer to criticise myself for.

The point is - it's not worth it. You don't *really* know how well you did, although I had an inclination I did well like you said you do, and you certainly don't know what they were thinking. Relax, maybe find some work to do because I know for sure that I was behind after prepping for the interview for 2 weeks, stop relentlessly checking your emails and just let it happen.

Hi Carmen, have u heard back from PMC or Withers?
No nothing, but I emailed Withers after it had been 4 months and they replied saying that they've been inundated with applications this cycle, that they're a small team and that they don't have access to a recruitment tool that pre-screens the applications for them - but that they'd get back to us ASAP. I'm expecting PFOs from both of them at this point though, which is sad because I got through to interview with Withers last year and thought my application this year was way stronger. Let me know if you hear anything will you?

I wouldn’t think this!!! I also haven’t heard from withers - I’ve heard of VERY few people being asked to interview so far. Feels like they genuinely are just being slow.
