Hi y'all, first-time poster. I just interviewed with LEK and Putnam Associates. I was wondering how long should I be expecting some updates from them. Has anybody heard from these 2 firms this year yet? Thank you!

do you go to a target? is this FT or summer?
Sorry about the confusion. It's both FT final round. I don't know if I'm from a target school so probably not.
How long did it take you to hear back when you applied to Putnam and how did you apply (did you email on the website?)?
I applied pretty early and it took them like 2 months to contact me for the 1st round. It'll be pretty horrible if the final round result take another 2 months though
When did you apply to LEK and how long did it take for you to hear back for 1st round?
What was the turnaround for 1st round to final round for both LEK and Putnam? I'd think it would be similar for results?
Good point. That took like 2 days.
I guess I should face the fact and accept that I failed.
OK now I got both rejections, coming to provide some timelines:
For those who got offers, they generally got it in like 2-3 days.
Both rejections from LEK and Putnam came 1-week ± 1 business day after the interview by email.
are you undergrad, mba, or advanced degree?
Advanced degree! PhD for the life sciences specialist
Sorry to hear. Keep at it!
Just wondering, when did you apply to LEK and how long did it take for them to get back to you for 1st round?
Thanks! Holding back tears at work today lol :)
I applied before their 2020 deadline of 7/26/20, and got contacted 8/12/20. So like a bit more than 2 weeks?
What was the final round look like? for the quant and strategy portions, are they the same as the first round?
Good luck keep going! 2 final rounds means you're doing something right
