Based on the insights from Wall Street Oasis, the timeline for hearing back after first-round interviews can vary significantly between firms. For instance, with firms like McKinsey, it's noted that it can take several days to hear back if you're moved to the final round, with a full week not being uncommon. However, this information is more specific to consulting firms rather than banks.
In the context of banking, while the exact timelines for BB (Bulge Bracket) and MM (Middle Market) banks aren't specified, it's reasonable to infer that a similar variability in response times could apply. A month without feedback is on the longer side, and while it doesn't definitively mean you're no longer being considered, it's advisable to proactively reach out to the HR departments or your contacts within those banks for an update. This approach shows your continued interest and might provide you with more clarity on your application status.
Remember, the hiring process can be highly variable and sometimes prolonged due to various internal factors. It's also beneficial to continue pursuing other opportunities in parallel until you have a confirmed offer.
