Hi everyone,
I am currently applying for the Associate Consultant Intern position at the Bain Hong Kong office. I had my second‑round interview on 9 February, and it has now been six weeks without any update from Bain.
Some additional background: although I applied for the Hong Kong office, all of my interviewers (both first and second round) were from the Shanghai office. After my first round, I sent a follow‑up email after a week but received no reply. A week later, I was invited to the second round. I sent a thank‑you note after the second round and another follow‑up email three weeks ago.
I understand this period may be particularly busy, especially since my interview took place right before the Chinese New Year. I am also unsure whether the cross‑office interview setup is contributing to the delay. At this point, I am not certain whether Bain will still send an update (even if it is a rejection), or if I should treat this as a silent rejection.
I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had a similar experience with Bain or the Greater China office. Thank you very much, and good luck with whatever you are working on.
