Bain Final Round in Europe – When to hear back?

Hi all, I was interviewing with one of Bain's offices in Europe for an off-cycle internship. Do you have any ideas when I am expected to hear back from them?

Hi there,

It can be anywhere from an immediate response (30 minutes after walking out the door) to multiple weeks.

If you haven't heard back within 2 weeks after your interview I would reach out.

Fingers crossed for you!

Hey there,

MBB should usually get back to you rather sooner than later, from the same day to a max. of a week but in COVID times everything is a bit different now. On top, you are talking about off-cycle recruiting.

I would politely ping HR if you are waiting for longer than 2 weeks. If you have a cross-offer you need to decide on, you can also write sooner and explain your situation.

Fingers crossed!

Cheers,

Florian

Hi,

Give them a week or so and keep patient.

Typically within a few days. After 7-10 days you can check in with HR.

Hi,

I totally agree with the other coaches. 

You could expect to hear from them in a period that goes from 1 day to around 1 week.

Good luck!

Hello!

Keep my fingers crossed for you, I know it´s a horrible wait!

Anything between 1 day and 1 week makes sense. 

Think that, if they take some days, is for agenda reasons -not so easy to find a slot for everyone to befrief and make a decision-. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara

Hi there, 

if you don't hear from them after two weeks, check with the HR.

Cheers, GB

Hi,

could give you a better answer if I knew the exact office. I heard different response time, ranging from usually same day (or even same hour) up to 1 week.
