Federica asked on Aug 31, 2023

Dear community, 

i'm Federica from Italy. I applied online for the Consultant position at BCG Middle East / Doha office few days ago. Do you know the response timeline or hiring process timeline at BCG Doha?

I have 10 years of experience in the consolidation/reporting field in big groups and I developed profound expertise in analysing complex financial operations (both from an operational and accounting view) and in-depth financial analyses to support management in the decision-making process.

Thanks in advance, 

Kind regards, 

Federica

Hi Federica,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • First of all, based on the experience of my coachees, the response time can vary, but generally, you should expect to hear back within 1 to 4 weeks after submitting an application.
  • Moreover, in case you have not yet heard back after 2 weeks, you may call the recruiter and inquire about the status of your application.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming BCG interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi Federica,

in the ME, usually the firm will get back within a couple of weeks, sometimes faster sometimes slower. Note that here is no fixed time window though.

Wish you all the best.

Hi Federica,

It usually takes a couple of weeks to get a response once you’ve applied, but I’ve seen anywhere from 1 week to 4 weeks regarding response times too. Fingers crossed for you!

Hi Federica,

You can expect it to take anywhere from a week or two to even a couple of months (in some cases).

Make sure you are not sitting around waiting but rather case prepping during thsi time!

Please also make sure you are networking with and applying to lots of other firms in order to maximize your recruiting chances.

Good luck!

Hi Federica!

Congrats on the application!

Hearing back from them typically takes 1-3 weeks. If 1 months has passed and you haven't heard back, then email the recruiter and ask for an update. 

In the meantime, keep yourself busy by applying to other places as well. Sharing with you a guide on how to develop a strong application strategy:


Best,
Cristian
