Curious... if I'm still in the "triage" bucket after 6 weeks should I assume the ship has sailed? I was really hoping to hear back one way or the other!
Also in my experience, a fabulous candidate is sometimes only available for a very short time window (they either have become available due to unforeseen circumstances, or they are snapped up by a faster mover).
Is six weeks fast in your opinion?
The places I'd like to work seem to move slower and require more preparation. For instance Oxide has applicants put together a lot of written work and another company has a seemingly easy take-home project but which requires unfamiliar (to me) setup that I haven't had time to tackle. Then there are the faang-style interviews with loops scheduled perhaps weeks in the future.
I may send another round of applications soon, but I'm going to be more selective so I can manage the process better.
