Help a nontarget: am I out?
Hey,
So I applied to M/B/B some BBs, and an elite boutique - all a while ago. So far I've heard back with one of MBB and am interviewing with another one. No one else has gotten back to me.
I go to a non-target so we don't have regular deadlines. I'm wondering if, based on how many people are getting interviews/ contact in other schools, if a firm hasn't gotten back to me at this point it means i'm waitlisted/ out of consideration.
P.S. I'm well qualified and have been to events/ interviews with each of these firms before. I applied really early (almost 2 months ago) and at the time got responses from hr at most of the places.
Thanks.
Hey,
I'm from a non-targeted school as well, I've had one interview so far at regional middle market. They said they will be in contact with me in a week or so to see if I made it t super Saturday. Although, I'm applying as a summer analyst.
If you don't reach out and try to work other angles, you are as good as finished.
That said, it's still possible. I applied to MBB all over a month ago, but I only have contacts at one. I casually and carefully told them both I applied, asked for advice, whatever. Their firm made a push to get non-core school recommendations a few weeks ago, and my contacts recommended me, so I got the first round interview. The contacts were crucial.
Then after that, I emailed two recruiters from another MBB firm and said "I just finished first rounds with X, and I thought it strange I haven't heard from you". 8 hours later, I got an invite from them.
Be creative and pleasantly aggresive.
