Bain AC interview invite

Hi! Just wanted to ask if anyone who applied by the 8/8 deadline for AC or ACI has gotten a 1st round interview invite? What is the turnaround time usually? P.S. for USA offices and for undergrad college recruitment

Hi there, 

It's always best to reach out directly to the recruiter in the location you applied to. Timelines differ by firm, geography, office, etc. and it's impossible to keep track of them. The most reliable answer you can get from those who actually set these timelines. 

Best,

Cristian

Hi, I confirm it depends on the office and the period of the year. It can take up to 2 months. Feel free to text HR without worrying about bothering them. They are there to help.

Best,
Antonello

Hi there,

You haven't even said the country…which makes me think you're probably American :)

Most of my candidates have heard back by now.

In regards to other firms, don't structure it depending on 1 company. Network + apply to as many other firms as you can, and prepare as optimally + rapidly as you can. It's honestly as simple as that!
