Hi,
I had interviews with both BCG and Bain for interview 4 days back. I was wondering whether they come back to you when you are rejected or they take time for a final decision?

Hi Michael,
Regardless of whether the outcome is yes or no, they could come back to you the same day or they could take 2 months.
It really all depends! Just sit tight and move forward on your other options as well. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst as well.
Fingers crossed for you!

Hi Micheal,
MBB will almost always let you know regardless the outcome. If you don’t hear from them after one week, it is fine to contact HR to ask if they have any updates.
Good luck!

Hey, which office did you interview with?

Once they have a decision, they will call you. Makes no difference whether it is positive or negative. So no answer means… no decision yet.
