Didn't Receive Offer Email

Bain

I just finished a Bain final round interview (for undergrad ACI), and there are people who have received emails detailing their offer. I haven't gotten that email or heard back from them yet. Does this mean I did not receive an offer? Do offer emails go out to everyone at the same time?

Hi Anonymous!

So far, that doesn't mean anything. Typically you'll receive a phone call from one of the Partners that interviewed you and after that (if you made it) you'll get emails from HR with all the details. Sometimes the interviewers are crazy busy, so their call might get delayd by a day or two.

Fingers crossed!

Hello!

Can you detail the timeline?

It seems that you "just" finished it, if that is the case, the is no need to worry then.

They can take up to a week to answer, since it takes some time to have everyone available for debrief.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

This all happened today (interviewed at 3pm, others received offer email at around 9pm). I'm concerned because the ACI position most likely gives offers at the same time. I also didn't send a thank you email until 9pm (since I forgot) if that also hurts me. — Anonymous A on Oct 03, 2020

Hi,

I may or it may not mean you didn't receive an offer - I understand it's hard to stay calm here but that's exactly what you need to do!

Remember when you applied to university? Everyone receives their acceptances/rejections at different times...don't stress....you'll find out in a few days.

Hi there,

This does not mean anything, just relax and wait until early next week to get more details. In the different offers I received from MBBs, some were given on the same day, and others 1 week later, so this does not mean anything at all.

Relax and enjoy your weekend!

Hello,

Could you please specify how long has it been since your interview? In any case, not all applicants receive a response at the same time, but the important thing is that everyone gets a response especially when you are talking about final round interviews.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

King regards,

Hi there,

Maybe it would be better to ask HR about the response time after the interview. Sometimes it can be several days, but it could also be up to several weeks. Don’t hesitate and ask HR about it.

And of course candidates don’t receive their offers/refusals at the same time.

By the way, did you get a response from HR?

All the best,

GB

Bain case: Asian lubricants producer

Bain & Company
Solved 158.2k times
Bain case: Asian lubricants producer LubricantsCo, a very successful Asian premium producer of lubricants in their native region, would like to further increase their revenue and profit. The product range ranges from lubricants in the automotive sector (e.g. motor and gear oil) to industrial applications (e.g. fats, heavy-duty oils). According to preliminary examinations, further growth potentials in the Asian core market are rather limited. Thus LubricantsCo would like to investigate options to internationalize in the passenger car business – also outside the premium segment which is given priority. Therefore your consulting firm was instructed to elaborate a market entry strategy for the European market.

Bain Case: Old Winery

Bain & Company
Solved 68.5k times
Bain Case: Old Winery You have inherited the “Old Winery” from your grandfather, a winery which has been family owned for five generations and can be dated back to the 16th century. Half of the eleven hectares are used to grow white grapes, the other half to grow red grapes. They are grown in the conventional way, i.e. they are not organically farmed and certified. The vine stocks are in a good condition regarding age and care. Overall, only ¼ of the harvest is made into wine by the winery itself; the rest is sold. Your grandfather never wanted to change the image of the winery and left the managerial and administrative task to a young and energetic wine-maker. Due to the not so well-known brand , the demand for the “Old Winery” wine is currently rather low. You do not intent to run the winery operatively, given your limited knowledge of wine making, but find the idea of owning a winery exciting. Your plan is to give the winery some fresh impetus.
