Hi there, 

Sorry to hear that the BCG application didn't work out. 

My expectation is that since you're applying for a significantly different role, then there shouldn't be a cooldown period. However, it's best to actually check this directly with the recruiter. They will be able to tell you with certainty since there are also rules that differ from office to office. 

In terms of the gap you are mentioning, I wouldn't expect it to be an issue. This whole topic of a CV gap is definitely overrated and only problematic in case you are unable to give a good reason for the gap. So don't worry about that and just focus on preparing for the interviews. 

Feel free to reach out directly if you have further questions.

Best,

Cristian

These are different roles, so you can definitely apply.

Regarding the gap, its prety small, shouldn't be an issue, and your explanation is reasonable if asked (shouldn't be a deal breaker when revieweing your CV).

Hello,

Definitely check with HR about the cooldown period - I also think you should be ok given that it is a very different role, but it is important to make sure.

The gap shouldn't be an issue if it is only a few months, and you can explain it if someone asks.

Hi there,

My understanding is that you *should* be ok here. It's a different role/channel so you should be able to apply. I would double check with HR.

Also, make sure to network!

I wouldn't worry too much about the gap.
