Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information about the Five Arrows January 2026 internship timeline. However, general trends from similar firms suggest that response times after R1 interviews can vary. For example:

  • McKinsey: It can take several days to a week to hear back if you move to the next round. Rejections are typically communicated sooner.
  • Goldman Sachs: Response times range from a few hours to several weeks, depending on the role and process.
  • DE Shaw: If you don't hear back within 48 hours, it might indicate a rejection, though they are known to delay rejections.

If you're still waiting, it might be worth waiting a few more days and then following up politely with the recruiter for clarity.
