BCG Case interview

Hi there, congrats on the invite to pass the BCG online test - it means your profile already peaked the team's interest!

During these uncertain times, consultancies are going through budget reviews and have a long pipeline of candidates to manage so you should be patient and understanding.

Key advice is to always follow up after one business week (i.e., five working days) from the moment you pass any interview stage. Keep it short and simple, for example:

Dear recruiting team [or add name if known],

Hope all is well - I completed the BCG Casey interview on [add exact date] and haven't received any update since. I'm very excited for the opportunity, and look forward to hearing back from you!

Thank you for your time and consideration,

[add your name]

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

Short answer is no - I would never recommend anyone to worry, even if the outlook for a specific opportunity isn't bright. In that case you should already think about the next opportunity!

What's happening is that consultancies have a substantial recruiting backlog and everything takes longer these days. This includes communication of any results along the recruiting process.

Best advice I can give is to stay cool and follow up if you haven't heard after 2-3 weeks (Rami made a good suggestion here) if indeed you have a contact.

Keeping my fingers crossed! Best of luck!

Hi there,

Perfectly normal!

Wait another week or two and then reach out.

By the way, you should not be twiddling your thumbs in the meantime! Make sure to network + apply to other companies in the meantime.

And, make sure you're continuing your case + fit prep.

Hello,

I wouldn't worry, since it hasn't even been 2 weeks. I would wait another week or so before reaching out to HR if you still haven't heard anything.

Sometimes it can take 3-4 weeks to get an answer back. So it is still within the normal range.

Hello!

No, it´s still within 2 weeks, which is normal. 

Wait couple more days and kindly follow up with HR. 

Cheers, 

Clara

Hi there, 

No - don't worry, just ask the recruiter if you've reached the limits of your patience. 

Best,
