No response after 1 month interviewing with BCG SEA

Question

Hi all, I have done my final round of interviews with BCG SEA for more than a month but has not received any updates thus far. Have sent several email to follow up with recruiter but no news. Anyone could give any advices on this? Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi there,

Just to manage expectations, I would take this as a bad sign. However, you won't know until you get the official answer.

MBB are dealing with a substantial recruiting backlog and everything takes longer than usual. Could positive news be delayed by a month? Possibly, but chances are slim.

Since you already wrote a few messages to the recruiter/HR team without any response, there's really not much else you can do - other than writing this off and set eyes on the next goal! And who knows, maybe you'll get a big surprise after all…

Keep up the good work! Best of luck!

Answer 2

Hi there,

Sorry to hear that the waiting time was so long.

Indeed 1 month is a lot of time to hear back after a final and not normal.

I would call HR directly to ask for feedback. Unfortunately I don’t think you have leverage to do much more than that unless you have another offer to use to push things forward.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Hey there,

If they have not replied for 1 month, chances appear slim. There are however other good consulting firms and other promising career options you can aspire towards. All the best

Thanks

Answer 4

Hi there,

To be honest, it's not great. Until you hear a no, it's not a no, but if they were truly interested you would have heard back sooner.

Remember, there are so many other great companies out there. Get networking + applying to other firms!

Consider hiring a coach next time around ($1k just to get a $160k job is a pretty obvious ROI), and read the following article on casing:

Answer 5

Hello!

Sorry to hear that, it´s extremely rare. I would call the central office of your country and ask to talk to them explaining the situation - they sit there.

best of luck!

Cheers,

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear about this - the waiting time can certainly feel frustrating, and 1 month is longer than usual. The best thing to do would be to reach out to HR by phone or email, to get an official answer.
