Is Bain Dubai hiring at the moment? I completed the test several months ago and still haven’t received any feedback

Hey! 

Just reach out to HR & ask - I would just call them! That's the easiest way to get your answer. 

Best, Alessa 

It's incredibly frustrating to put in the effort for a test and then hear nothing back – you're definitely not alone in that experience, especially with offices like Dubai.

The reality with these firms, particularly in specific international offices, is that hiring windows can be quite cyclical and capacity-driven. Tests often serve as a preliminary filter to build a pool of qualified candidates. If they aren't actively hiring for your specific profile or experience level right at that moment, or if their current cohort is full, they'll simply hold onto your results or move on without providing individual feedback. It's not a reflection of your potential, but often just a timing mismatch with their immediate needs.

What this usually means is that their hiring pipeline for your role might have closed, or they're not in an active recruiting phase. Your best bet is to assume they're not currently moving forward with your application from that specific test. Consider looking into their next official recruiting cycle – typically an annual event – or exploring other offices if you have the flexibility. Trying to connect with someone from Bain Dubai on LinkedIn might also give you a more real-time pulse on their hiring plans.

Hope this helps clarify!
