Based on the most helpful WSO content, the timeline for hearing back after a first-round interview in MS IBD (or similar firms) can vary. Typically, candidates hear back within a few days to a week. However, in some cases, it might take longer depending on the firm's internal processes, the number of candidates being interviewed, or scheduling delays.

If it's been over a week, it’s reasonable to send a polite follow-up email to your recruiter or point of contact to inquire about the status of your application.
