Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights regarding waiting times and follow-ups after interviews:

  1. Follow-Up Timing: It's common for HR to provide an estimated timeline for feedback, but delays can happen. If HR mentioned two weeks and you haven't heard back yet, it might be worth waiting a few more days.

  2. Proactive Communication: Reaching out to HR for an update can be beneficial. As mentioned in other threads, candidates have successfully secured interviews by following up with HR after a period of no communication.

  3. Shared Experiences: Other users have reported similar experiences where they had to wait longer than expected. For instance, in the McKinsey/Bain/BCG SA 2022 thread, candidates were told to expect feedback early in the week but experienced delays.

  4. Patience and Preparation: While waiting, continue to prepare for potential next rounds and consider applying to other opportunities as well.

If you haven't heard back after the expected timeline, a polite follow-up email to HR could help clarify your status.
