My experience: follow up next day, here back around 1-2 weeks, second interview, here back within the week. Probably differs by firm and how many candidates they chose to interview
Anyone else? Trying to make a constructive thread that future WSO interviewees can refer to (not just they typical 'immediate offer that day or you're dinged' response)
It varies so much that there's really no point of analyzing it. I've had people call me to leave me a voicemail asking them to call them back only to get rejected. I've had people email me after an interview asking me to give them a call so they could provide feedback and then me calling thinking I'm rejected but get an offer instead. I've had responses within one day with a rejection, responses within two weeks with an offer...it's all over the place
1st round: 1 week, to 1.5 weeks. Superday: That evening
MM Bank
I found out I made it to the super day about 3 days later, and I got the offer very shortly after the final round. (To be fair, I had asked for an express decision because I had an exploding offer from somewhere else.) Though from my friends' experience at my school final decisions do seem to come out the night of or next day. I think the longest I have heard of from my friends was Barcap S&T 4 or 5 days later.
EDIT: This was for BB SA.
FT MM --> 48 hours, within 5 hours if receiving an offer.
anyone have to follow up with HR via e-mail or call?
I've followed up after not hearing for 2 ish weeks (1st round, I wouldn't wait that long after a superday)...but that's rare. And if I had to follow up, every single time, I didn't get the offer.
