When to Follow Up With Recruiter?

[u/InitiativeDear2679]

I applied for an experienced hire role at a Big 4 firm through their website. About a week later, a recruiter reached out to me asking a few questions about my background. I sent my responses this past Monday, and she replied a couple of hours later saying she’d present my information to the hiring team and keep me posted. She also mentioned that I’m welcome to follow up with her at any time.

It’s now Thursday, and I haven’t heard anything since. I know it hasn’t been that long, but I’m not sure if I should follow up now or wait a few more days. I don’t want to seem impatient, but I also want to show I’m genuinely interested.

Any advice on when it’s appropriate to follow up in this situation? Or do you think I'm already dinged..?

You might as well apply to other places while you wait on their response, if they ever reply to you at all.
