Hi there,

1) I emailed the recruiter 2 weeks ago and she said to wait and I will receive a reply eventually .what does that mean? 

They are still evaluating your application. There may be several reasons for the delay (eg waiting for more applications, low demand, etc)

2) Is it normal to wait that long and get an interview eventually?

The longest I heard a candidate had to wait was 2 months and the results were positive, so it is still possible to get invitations even after several weeks.

Best,

Francesco

Hi there, 
 

The delay/longer than hoping return time is usually given that all people that interviewed you must submit their feedback and this can take long as everyone's agenda is extremely packed. So delay doesn't mean anything bad, it is just an organizational thing. Still, I would strongly recommend reaching out to HR and asking for an update and a new timeline. 

During my recruiting, I had another offer and I couldn't delay more (my recruiting process with BCG took 4 months and I was chasing them!) hence I pressed BCG to give me feedback by a certain time and despite that, it was hard for them, they stick to that (I got my offer).
 
Good luck
Lucie

Hi there,

Sit tight - they'll get to you when they get to you!

Ultimately, plenty of people get invited to interview after multiple months (and plenty don't). All you can do in the meantime is keep case prepping and applying to other companies!

it is not usually normal to wait for that long, but it happened with me and a few people I know in which we all got the imbellus passing email after a month. I would recommend you to call hr directly! best of luck
