I've heard a lot about BCG contacting people very quickly after final rounds if they are successful. The recruiter on the call mentioned getting back by Monday or Tuesday, but I was wondering if it might be sooner.  

Sorry for the dumb question; I'm just really nervous lol

It was for a northeastern US office, if that helps.

You are basically asking if recruiters will give feedback on the same day. I find it unlikely. They are probably interviewing multiple people on the same day and only later on will they touch base with each other and make decisions. Can be on the same day (EOD) or the day after. They decide who will call whom. Unlikely to happen on the same day.

So I would not expect the call today, but on Monday or Tuesday as mentioned (and remember, this will not be the first thing they do - they will fit it in during their work schedule).

Hi there,

I understand the nervousness!

But, there's nothing you can do.

So, forget about it and try to actually enjoy your weekend!

They'll get back to you Mon/Tues. Or, they'll take another week.

Patience :)

Hello,

Not to worry, this is actually a very common question! I think it is most likely that they will get back to you early next week (assuming you had your final round on Friday, when you posted the question, that only leaves 1-2 business days anyway) if that is what they told you. But it does vary a lot, so if it's taking a little longer and you still haven't heard from them, don't worry (follow up the following week if you still haven't heard). In any case, you've done all that you could to influence your outcome and now you just need to wait. Best of luck!

Hi there,

I agree with Ian and Pedro. No one can predict when they will follow up, but most likely they will stick to the beginning of next week if that’s what they said.

Best,

Francesco
