Dumb Q but how long to hear back after MM case

Ah, the waiting game after a case interview can feel like an eternity, can't it? Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, as the timeline can vary widely depending on the firm, the specific team you interviewed with, and their current workload or decision-making process. However, drawing from a similar scenario in the context, like the Point72 Canvas FRG case, where a candidate experienced a month of radio silence before receiving positive feedback and then another month before a final decision, it's not uncommon for the process to take several weeks.

Here are a few points to consider during this nail-biting period: - Patience is Key: It's not unusual for the feedback process to take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. Firms often have multiple candidates to review and may need time for internal discussions. - Follow-Up: If you haven't heard back within two weeks, it's generally acceptable to send a polite follow-up email to your recruiter or contact person. This shows your continued interest and eagerness to hear about the outcome. - Stay Engaged: Continue with your job search or interview preparation for other opportunities. It's beneficial to keep your options open and maintain momentum.

Remember, the waiting time isn't a direct reflection of your performance. Many factors behind the scenes can affect how quickly a decision is communicated. Keep positive, and best of luck!
