How long until 2nd round interview notification?

What is the typical wait time between finishing a first round interview at an M/B/B firm and being notified of a 2nd round?

Also, if you are not picked for a second round, do they notify you? Or is the lack of notification your answer?

i've had interviews at 2 of MBB this fall and made it to final rounds at both. after the first round, one firm got back to me the next morning, and the other firm didn't get back to me until 6 days later -- but both were good news. so i would not read ANYTHING into how long it's taking them to get back to you.

 

5 days and counting....I think I am toast. This sucks because I was killing the cases when I practiced with some former "Bainies," but the speaker phone they guy interviewed me on for the real interview was so staticky I couldn't hear him and it messed with my head. His thick accent didn't help either.
