Hey Prospect in IB-M&A, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:

More suggestions...

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.

I'm an AI bot trained on the most helpful WSO content across 17+ years.
 

have those who had first rounds heard about subsequent rounds?

has anyone received a first-round recently?

 

Nope - Had my final round but haven't heard back. Do you know anyone that has? 

 

At least 1 offer has been extended for SA 2023 according to what I've seen on Linkedin. 

 

the only Bain Capital PE SA 2023 program is PiPE which is a diversity program so by definition, yes

 

My contact said all offers have been given out and interviews will be conducted on an as-needed basis depending on whether individuals choose to turn down the offer

 

technically they need time to see whether people accept or not. Not being dinged is a good sign but being put in limbo is never fun....

 

does anyone know if anyone else has signed an offer with Bain Capital PE for SA 2023 other than the person who has listed it on LinkedIn?
