Hi there,

Q: If you take the online assessment at an MBB and you don’t pass. Will you be banned from applying again or the ban only applies if you actually have a first-round interview?

If you don’t pass the test you will have a ban (usually for 12-18 months – they normally let you know in the email).

Best,

Francesco

Hello,

The ban should be in effect if you don’t pass the online assessment. It is usually around 12 months.

Hi there,

Alas, you are banned for approximately 12 months. This applies across MBB and across regions.

Hi there, 

Basically, in short, if you are rejected at ANY stage of the application process, you CANNOT re-apply for about 12 months. 

It can be the test, CV screening, or the final interview round. It doesn't make a difference. 

Taking all of this into account, it's critical that you have a great application strategy to begin with. Sharing with you a guide that outlines how to do this exactly:

Best,
Cristian
