Macquarie Psychometric Assessment

Ah, the thrilling yet nerve-wracking wait after a psychometric assessment! While I don't have specific details on Macquarie's timeline following their psychometric assessments, I can share some insights based on the general timelines and experiences from similar high-stakes environments, like Goldman Sachs and McKinsey, as discussed on Wall Street Oasis.

For Goldman Sachs, after their HireVue interviews, which can be somewhat akin to psychometric assessments in terms of being an early screening stage, candidates have reported hearing back anywhere from 2 weeks to a month. However, it's important to note that these timelines can vary greatly depending on the role, the number of applicants, and the specific recruitment cycle.

In the case of McKinsey, for their consulting roles, the timeline to hear back after initial rounds (which could include tests similar in nature to psychometric assessments) can also span several days to a week, especially if your application is being forwarded to preferred offices for further consideration.

Given these insights, it's reasonable to infer that for a structured and competitive process like Macquarie's SA2025, you might be looking at a similar range of response times. It's always a bit of a waiting game, and the timeline can be influenced by many factors.

As for how you think it went, it's natural to analyze and sometimes overthink your performance. Remember, these assessments are designed to gauge a range of skills and aptitudes, and it's not just about getting every answer right but also about how you approach problems and challenges. If you felt you did your best and showcased your strengths, that's a positive outcome regardless.

In the meantime, my best advice is to stay engaged, perhaps prepare for the next stages, and also consider other opportunities in parallel. The waiting period is an excellent time to reflect, learn, and even reach out to your network for advice and insights. Keep the momentum going, and best of luck!
