Follow-Up Email After Team-Match (3 Business Days)
Context: You are a candidate for a Data Scientist role. Three business days after an onsite team-match conversation with the hiring director, you want to politely nudge a decision while maintaining a collaborative tone.
Task: Compose a follow-up email of exactly 120 words that:
- Includes a clear subject line.
- Contains a one-sentence value proposition tailored to the team’s needs.
- Proposes one concrete next step with a soft 48-hour deadline.
- Adds a PS that reduces friction (e.g., a relevant repo or case study link).
- Avoids sounding pushy.
Deliverable: Provide the email and briefly justify each required element.
