BCG Experienced Consultant Northeast US

Hi everyone! 
Experienced Hire Consultant FR this passing Friday. Two partners. Fit/rapport felt very strong (1 alum same program). 

First case reached the main analysis but not the final recommendation due to time (he laughed and mentioned we chatted too much earlier..). 

Second case was stronger overall with one math mistake, although right concept and the REC was still the same. 

No call Friday. Anyone have a similar experience and still get an offer Monday or later? Or what is the norm for EH?

Ex-BCG Partner | Interviewer and Career Advisor | Fully tailored approach

Hi,

I would not worry too much at this stage. It is very early, and a short delay is completely normal, especially if the two interviewers did not yet have time to debrief with HR and align before anyone gets back to you.

Based on what you describe, I would be cautiously positive. The fit was good with both partners, and the two issues do not sound serious to me: running out of time before the final recommendation is not a problem if the structure and thinking were there, and one math mistake is not a big deal either, especially when you had the right approach and reached the same conclusion.

Hope it helps and fingers crossed!

Thank you Federico.
I do know the second partner is at a weekend trip that Friday with her family (yes we even chatted there) but I also have a lot of data point that it is same day offer call on Friday…
I guess the more you wait, less confident you have in your performance.
Thank you again.
