Hi,
I have a PhD and 3-year industry postdoc experience. I applied for a Graduate Associate role at BCG as I do not have a business background. I noticed there is an additional application in my profile for experienced Junior Consultant/Consultant role that says Incomplete - Recruiter initiated. I got invited to do Hirequotient and think I did pretty average, I missed probably 1-2 questions. About 1.5 weeks after the online assessment, I got a rejection for the Graduate Associate role that said:
We have spent some time reviewing your abilities, experience, and fit with our requirements, and after careful consideration, we are not in a position to take your application further.
As I understand, MBB firms have a 12-18month cool off period, but the rejection didn’t state that. I’m not sure if I can reapply again or if the incomplete application is a real application and how to go about completing it? I’ve reached out to a recruiter in the relevant region but thought I’d ask here while waiting for their reply.
Thanks very much for any insight.
