How long does it take to hear the good/bad news after final round interviews? Firm: LEK & Putnam

Hi y'all, first-time poster. I just interviewed with LEK and Putnam Associates. I was wondering how long should I be expecting some updates from them. Has anybody heard from these 2 firms this year yet? Thank you!

I applied pretty early and it took them like 2 months to contact me for the 1st round. It'll be pretty horrible if the final round result take another 2 months though

 

When did you apply to LEK and how long did it take for you to hear back for 1st round?

What was the turnaround for 1st round to final round for both LEK and Putnam?  I'd think it would be similar for results?

 

Good point. That took like 2 days. 

I guess I should face the fact and accept that I failed. 

 

OK now I got both rejections, coming to provide some timelines: 

For those who got offers, they generally got it in like 2-3 days. 

Both rejections from LEK and Putnam came 1-week ± 1 business day after the interview by email. 

 

Thanks! Holding back tears at work today lol :)

I applied before their 2020 deadline of 7/26/20, and got contacted 8/12/20. So like a bit more than 2 weeks?
