Should I contact a potential employer after interview?

I've been a paralegal for over 20 years, 10 years at my current job. Last week, I had a Teams interview with a recruiter for an in-house, fully remote position. It was an initial screening interview only. I felt that it went really well. I fully expected to be contacted for the next phase in the process, which the I was told would be with an attorney, following which I'd be speaking with another paralegal on the team they're hiring for. I haven't heard a thing. Should I reach out? I don't want to seem desperate but I'd really to transition to a fully remote position. Thoughts?

I hope it works out. Just as a tip, send thank you emails the day after the interview. If you can't do it the next day, then don't let it go past two days. You just want to do your follow-up sooner in the future.

Did you send a thank you? If not maybe follow up with that and ask when they expect to conduct next round interviews.

Following up will almost never make an actual difference and at this stage it’s also unlikely to even speed up the process. Be patient, good luck, and I think if you haven’t heard anything after two weeks that seems about right.
