Hi!

That's by no means strange. 

It can even take a couple of weeks. 

I would recommend that you keep yourself busy by applying to other firms as well. It's critical that you diversify, especially judging by how the market looks like at the moment. Here's how to do it:


Good luck!

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation from Bain!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your situation:

  • First of all, waiting for a week might feel long, but it's (currently) within the normal time frame for such pre-interview assessments of 1-2 weeks.
  • Moreover, I would advise you to use this time to continue preparing for the next stages of the application process, i.e. the case study and the behavioral interviews.
  • Lastly, stay proactive. Follow up with the recruiter if you haven't heard back in another week.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming Bain interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

Sit tight. They'll let you know if/when you're invited to interview. If 2 weeks have passed you can feel free to reach out.

Importantly, make sure you're networking with and applying to other firms in the meantime!

Hi,

it's still within the expected timeframe - too early to be worried. Albeit I can understand why you'd want to know as soon as possible. You'll just have to roll with the punches for now.

Best of luck

Hi there,

Q: I am waiting for Bain Sova Assessment result its a week now.

One week isn't actually an unusual waiting time. I would recommend waiting for at least one more week. f you still haven't heard back, it is fine to reach out to HR for an update.

Good luck!
