Hello,
I had my second interview with oliver wyman exactly 3 weeks ago for an intern position. I have not heard back since. I am pretty sure i am rejected at this point but i haven’t received the official email yet. Is it recommended for me to reach out or is there no point since im rejected anyway.
Thank You
Hi,
I would definitely reach out; there’s no downside at all.
Also, I wouldn’t jump to conclusions yet. I’ve seen quite a few cases over the last few weeks where firms are taking longer than expected to get back, especially for internships: no news doesn’t automatically mean rejection.
So I’d send a quick note to HR or your interviewer reiterating your interest and asking if there are any updates. Worst case, you get closure; best case, you’re still in the process.
Regards,
Franco
Three weeks is long, and candidly it’s not usually the strongest signal, but I wouldn’t automatically assume rejection until you hear it.
At Oliver Wyman, as in many firms, delays can happen for reasons that have little to do with your performance:
Also, sometimes rejections come fast, sometimes they sit in limbo for a while.
At this point, yes — I would reach out.
A short, polite follow-up to recruiting is completely reasonable after 3 weeks. Something simple asking whether there are any updates on the process.
I wouldn’t approach it with the mindset:
“I’m rejected anyway so there’s no point.”
There is a point:
So yes, I’d follow up.
And separate point: try not to interpret silence too much. Recruiting processes are often messy. It may or may not be bad news, but right now you don’t know. Better to check.
