Final response delay

Hello, 

I hope you're doing well.
How long does it typically take to receive a final response from a management firm in the Middle East?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Hi there!

There is no set deadline for the final response. It usually depends on the application process, how many applicants / interviews they are doing and when they are done interviewing everyone.

I personally had to wait for a week, but I have seen people wait even 2/3 weeks before getting a response. 

If you do not hear back after 3 weeks, I suggest you send a message to the recruiter, they will let you know!

Hi :)

It can vary a lot, but for management firms in the Middle East it’s usually anywhere from one to three weeks after finals. Sometimes it takes longer if partners are traveling or if multiple approvals are needed. A delay doesn’t necessarily mean a rejection, it’s often just logistics.

best,
Alessa :)

Hi there,

Q: How long does it typically take to receive a final response from a management firm in the Middle East?

It depends on the firm. Based on the candidates I helped, top strategy consulting firms usually provide feedback within one week, however other firms might take longer.

Good luck!
