How long does it usually takes from application to offer if you apply in January?
It took me around 4 months from application to offer stage at BCG LON. It was fairly long due to a substantial 1+ month gap between passing the assessment and going for a first round interview.
Hi there,
Q: How long does it usually takes from application to offer if you apply in January?
This is really dependent on the company / geography / seniority you have.
Most of the time you can expect a range between 1 and 6 months. Some companies have several steps (eg tests) while others don't, which impacts the difference. Additionally, some companies have now decreased hiring in some regions (eg McKinsey) and postponed scheduled interviews.
If you can share the company and region, that could help to define a more clear range with previous data points.
Best,
Francesco

Hi there,
It depends on so many factors. That said, you can expect it to happen as quickly as in a few weeks or as long as half a year. It just depends.
Your job is to be flexible and adaptable and patient.
Your job is to apply to dozens of firms/roles because any single application has low odds.
Hi there,
I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

Hi there,
A rough timeline:
At the quickest, you are looking at a good month, more likely around 2 months.
The periods are averages. In certain cases, it might be quicker (unlikely) or longer (more common).

When companies are actively processing their applications, you can assume 2-3 months. But that varies by geography as well since there may be specific application/recruiting windows to consider. If you submit your application outside of those, you might be sidelined for a while (or not considered at all).
Just make sure you are well enough prepared for the case interviews by the time you submit your application because the first round interview stage could happen quickly.
Hello,
Significantly differs per company and per region, but here's a ballpark estimate:
Application to online assessment → 2-3 weeks
Online assessment to Round 1 → 1 week
Round 1 to Round 2 → 0-2 weeks
Thus about 4-6 weeks in total.
Hope this helps!

Hi there,
The range is really big and depends on various factors besides season e.g., location, candidate demand, interviewer availability, current talent pipeline, role & practice you're applying for, etc.
In 90% of the cases, the process takes between 1 and 4 months. In the remaining 10% you have cases that are abnormally quick or long.
Hope this helps a bit. Best of luck!
