Hi, I applied for the IT Associate role at BCG Platinion, and it has been almost two months without any update or start of the process. Is this common? Should I stop preparing, or is the process just slow?

Hi,

Processes can sometimes be quite slow, so I wouldn’t read too much into the delay. You can either wait a bit longer or reach out to the recruiting team for an update; it won’t negatively affect your application.

By the way, which office did you apply to?

Best,

Sorry to hear about this. 

2 months is a bit too long. 

Typically, I recommend candidates to reach out to the recruiter if a month has passed and they haven't heard back. 

I would do this now if I were you. 

And in the meantime, make sure that you apply broadly to other firms as well. Diversification is key for a good application strategy. You might find this guide useful:

I'd advise you reach out to the recruiter, as I think the ongoing regional war has caused a lot of uncertainty around hiring these days. That's not to say it's stopped, there are a few firms still actively hiring, but I'd double check with your point of contact in HR. Good luck and stay safe.
