I took it as a lesson, not a loss. In terms of timeline, I feel like all the PE shops I applied to were very vague in determining that. (These are all places I applied to) Insight has a rolling application so they have interviews etc. whenever and KKR/Bain mention nothing about a set timeline in their application.

Looking from posts around this time last year, I would expect to hear back sometime in the coming weeks/month
