3-4 weeks since Bain final round - No decision
So I had my final round at Bain 3-4 weeks ago and still haven't gotten a decision. I know people who have been rejected from the same office, and one person who was accepted (the day of his interview). So what is most likely going on? It blows me away that it's taken this long, as I haven't had to wait this long for a decision from any other firm, and Bain has previously been extremely quick and open in this whole process.
Email HR, I wouldn't have even waited 2 weeks without getting a response UNLESS HR said to wait that long.
I keep being told that it will take a little longer (last time was last week). It is frustrating, and is honestly souring me a little bit on the company... If it wasn't such a strong first choice going into this process I would have just accepted another offer by now.
Sorry about that, if you don't get a response by Wednesday next week, call them the following day. If it's still the same bs, I would move on. You have been more than patient.
tell them u have another offer but really want to work/intern for Bain
It sucks sure, but.... 1. You probably don't have any other offers from McK or Bcg or you'd have taken those 2. Bain knows that so they know they have you by the nuts 3. If they give you an offer you will take it so again, they have you by the nuts 4. If they didn't like you, you'd have been dinged by now. No one waits to ding a clear no.
Yeah, seems about right. I wish they would be a little more honest with me, but I guess they hold all the power in this situation.
Dude fuck that. MBB might be top, but if you know you're good and have potential to add value, you should be communicating that to the other side. Try to take control of the situation rather than letting other people move you around by the balls.
This is for summer, right? Don't screw your chances for ft next year by getting pushy. Your time to control things was in interviews. Stay positive and make sure they see that no matter the outcome. Unless you have another offer you will actually take you have no leverage and even then they can very easily fill your spot.
Isn't it odd if they don't give you an answer in 1-2 weeks?
Bain Final Rounds NYC Reply (Originally Posted: 10/15/2011)
Hey guys,
Quick question...I just had final rounds at Bain NYC this past week and was expected to get a reply by the end of the week; however, i received notice they would take until sometime the following week, even though some people have received both yes and no's this week...any guesses on why this could be/what's up? thanks
What are your stats? Just curious.
Waitlisted? Had that experience interviewing for IBD (did end up getting the offer after waiting about 3 weeks).
I can throw out a bunch of guesses, but they wouldn't be worth anything. They'll get back to you eventually.
probably waitlisted.
Hey, just wondering, did you ever hear from them or are you still waitlisted?
still waitlisted (though they finally called and officially told me)...are you also?
I'm suspecting that I am, although I've yet to hear any official notice. I interviewed the 29th of October, and I figure if I don't get a rejection today (and obviously no offer), then I'm on the waitlist. I wonder how long they'll keep us waiting..
I'd wait another month or two before you email HR and ask if you're on the waitlist yet
Hey, I actually just got waitlisted for the summer intern position in NY. How long did it take for them to get back to you and did either of you get offers??
