Bain - Final Round Decisions?

Hi everyone! I had my final round interview at Bain this past Friday and was wondering if anyone else had heard back. I've seen other posts about McKinsey and BCG having fast turnaround times, but does anyone know if Bain is just as fast? I'm sitting on an offer from a T2, but Bain is my first choice.

When I got an offer, it was like 6 hours after the interview, when I was in line in the airport. Not sure how it goes from office to office, though. Probably a bit different.

Remember, always be kind-hearted.
 

For off-cycle interviews, it can vary. Could be up to even two weeks to get a yes, depending on the availability of those that interviewed you to make a decision and how structured the off-cycle process is in your respective office.

Usually your gut feeling is right about how well you performed in the interview.

Gimme the loot
