I think it's very hard if not impossible to say from the outside how long a respective job advertisement is open for. 

The recruiter might be best positioned to know. Maybe wait another 1-2 weeks (if you can) and follow up with them in a kind email? I don't think that can hurt. 

Hope you hear some good news,

Hi there,

To be honest, I think this is a delaying tactic. 

• Some job openings are open indefinitely for a year-round rolling recruiting.
• The current supply of consulting jobs is very low and firms prefer to hire candidates without administrative friction.

My advice would be to also look for offices where you already have a work permit.

Kind regards,

Florian

Hi there,

Q: How long the job advertisement at BCG last on the job market?

It depends on the office/need for candidates. Regardless, if you already applied, it doesn’t matter how long they will keep it online.

As a side note, usually it is better to apply where you have a work permit to increase chances. In theory, they might sponsor the application if you don’t have a work permit, but it still puts you at a disadvantage compared to other candidates at the same level due to the additional work required from their side to hire you.

Good luck!

Unless you are clearly the right person for the job, they will keep the post for a while until they find a suitable candidate. You have a clear disadvantage here.

There is no fixed time window for closing a job posting - in general. 

Best to ask that directly to HR if you are concerned.

Regardless, if you are not screened, HR should inform you about that as well. Rejection will not mean radio silence.

One tip here - I would check via Linkedin whether there are people in the office from a similar region as you and who might've gone through a similar process beforehand. 

You could then reach out to them for a chat to understand how they did it.

Best,
Cristian
