Bain AC final round 2021 decisions
Hey guys,
I go to a target (H/Y/P/S) undergrad and we had our final-round interviews for the AC role at Bain (NYC/ Boston/ SF) on Tuesday the 29th. I know MBB typically get back with news within 24h if it’s good or longer if it’s not-so-good but none of my friends have heard back yet.
What should we expect the decision timeline to look like? Maybe we can use this space to keep a tab on when decisions start going out...
Would really appreciate any insight on this for this year in particular (have read through previous posts)
If neither you nor your friends heard back I wouldn't sweat it. It seems like its a thing on their end with making decisions
Yup hoping that's what it is -- makes sense!
am mbb, there's no set timelines and differs per office. We do everyone in one go and everyone hears back at the same time regardless of when you interviewed. If you were in an early interview group it could take time, if you were in the last interview group it could be a very quick turnaround
Gotcha, thanks!
I got my ACI offer five days after my second round, don't sweat it.
Okay, good to know! Thanks!
My anxiety could never
Did you ever find out why it took five days? Did the partners not have time to meet before then?
Around a week has been the norm for my school in previous years, so no reason to ask.
Echo above. At Bain, first round decisions are made by EoD usually, second round is whenever the partners have time to chat, which can be a LONG time in some cases, and then whenever they have time on their schedule to call you which can be even longer.
Can I ask how you know this (if this is from what you've learned from other interviewees or from personal knowledge)?
First hand experience, but it differs office to office so as with anything you read online take it with a grain of salt.
At another target for Bain, second rounds are Monday for us. Wouldn't be surprised if you hear same time as we get decisions.
Am at another target for Bain, we don't have first rounds till the 8th. It seems like COVID has messed up timelines so might be even longer before you hear back, so I wouldn't sweat it (ik it's easier said than done)
I just had my ACI final round on Friday (for the Atlanta office) and two people I know got offers that night. Does that mean that I'm definitely rejected? We had the same partner interviewer (who called the others) but he was my first interviewer and their second interviewer, if that has any significance. I'm hoping that I could get called on Monday but have heard Fridays are when acceptances come out and Monday is when rejection calls happen
It does not at all mean that you were rejected. I was actually in your position just 1 week ago (lol) - I had interviewed for an East Coast office and had the same interviewers at 5 other people (at least). 2 of them heard back on one day; I heard back the following day. The Partner had planned to call me on the same day but missed the chance while picking up an UberEats order. It happens! Don't worry about it too much yet - it's not over til it's over.
What time did you end up being called the next day? It seems like they'd call you early in your scenario but I haven't been contacted yet...
I also interviewed for Atlanta on Friday and haven’t heard back yet. The suspense is killing me
Did you hear back yet?
I interviewed for SF last Friday and haven't heard and the anxiety is KILLING ME! Hard to believe it's good news at this point.... but I'm trying to hold on to the small chance that I haven't been rejected yet.
Have they called you yet?
ACI candidate from a target school in the South here. Interviewed for NY office this past Friday morning. Haven't heard back yet, either. Hang in there everyone!
Any news? Wondering what the timeline is for Friday interviews.
Has anyone heard back from Bain second rounds?
I haven’t. Target school applying to SF office.
Same here - what day did you interview?
as anyone heard back?
no lol
Did my second round earlier today for Bain SF still waiting to hear back. Super nervous..
Were you going for ac or aci?
Did anyone else have a second round interview for Northeast offices yesterday? Didn't hear back but received a response from a thank you note. A little anxious that will end up as a rejection.
Has anyone else heard back yet for Northeast offices?
Haven't heard anything. Have you?
Nope :/ neither have the ACI final round interviewees here
just got emailed a rejection
Sorry to hear that man. I haven't heard back yet but the anxiety is killing me.
Sorry to hear it. Keep your head up. I thought they would call at the very least, especially considering you had a final round
x
Has anyone else heard back / know what the turnaround time generally is? Just had my AC final round for NE office yesterday (10/12) ... so nervous!
Do you know of anyone who interviewed yesterday and heard back? That should be telling
Had ACI final round for NE office last week. Do you know if they compare AC interviews to ACI interviews when choosing how many people get the offer? Wondering if they're waiting to tell us the news until after all NE interviews are complete.
Know someone who interviewed for Northeast offices on Thursday from Southern target got an offer today.
Thank you for adding this! Congrats to your friend!
Has anyone going for AC in SF heard anything yet? Had my final interview last Friday and still nothing. Really anxious and treating it like a rejection at this point but I just want to know for sure lol
Anyone who interviewed for Northeast office on 10/12 hear back yet?
Bump
Yeah, was rejected on Friday
