Black listed?
I think I've been black-listed at BCG. I now have an offer in hand from another MBB (well, let's just say MB), but despite the endless wrangling and networking, I just can't seem to get my foot back in the door of BCG. I had a final round interview over a year ago, after which I was dinged, and feedback was offered - but never granted, despite a (VERY polite) voicemail and a couple of emails. At the time, I attributed this to the busy-ness of sell season. But when my first rounder interviewer, who had previously been gushing at my earlier performance, abruptly stopped responding to e-mail, I thought something more might be afoot. Fast forward to 2 years later, and all of my inquests into this company stop just short of the interview room. I've even tried once more to re-connect with the first round interviewer, but she completely ignored my email and vaguely told a friend, who approached her on my behalf, that she would "be in touch." Naturally, nothing materialized.
I'm pleased with what I have, but I feel like BCG is a better "fit" for several reasons, and I just can't shake the feeling that I'm being held at bay by some invisible black list. Does this happen? It's incredibly frustrating. What gives?
they're just busy dude. this isnt communist USSR.
try contacting someone else. Maybe an alumnus?
Well....you haven't given them a reason to blacklist you. It's not like you reneged, you were dinged. They're just busy.
I'd blacklist you too if you kept emailing me. Take the hint and move on.
If you have another offer why are you complaining? If you thought they'd be a good fit, but they didn't feel the same way, then go to the place that wants you.
if you truly have an offer from McKinsey or Bain take it and don't look back. no idea why you would stress over one firm, sure it might be a "better fit", but you have a great opportunity you can take. accept it and stop worrying.
McK and Bain are both cooler than BCG, so don't sweat it.
So you feel you're a good fit for a firm whose employees ignore you. Riiight. Tbh, they act badly and you shouldn't care.
You haven't been blacklisted, you just got rejected. From your story, it sounds like your rejection was for normal full-time recruiting, and now you're trying to lateral, but they're not interested because they already looked at you and decided they didn't want you. And your first-round interviewer stopped answering your emails because you didn't get hired. Nothing more to it.
She may not even remember you, after 2 years. That's a lot of interviews ago.
