I received an invitation to complete the McKinsey Solve Game on Aug 4th and completed it on Aug 9th. Since then, I haven’t heard back. I followed up with the recruiting coordinator last week, and she mentioned that the lead recruiter is currently reviewing my entire application and that they will be in touch asap. It has been a month now, and I am applying for the Riyadh office. Is this delay normal, and what are my chances at this stage?

hi!
Yes, long delays after the Solve Game are quite common, especially in Middle East offices where recruiting cycles can move slowly. A month of silence doesn’t necessarily signal rejection; it usually just means the office is still processing or waiting on staffing needs. Since the recruiter told you your application is under review, that’s a positive sign—it hasn’t been dropped.
At this stage your chances are still alive, but patience is key. A polite follow-up every couple of weeks is fine.
best, Alessa :)

It's a long wait, but not that uncommon. But, of course, keep following up with the recruiter.
