1st Round BCG Dubai

Hi, I completed yesterday my 1st Round interview with BCG Dubai. When do you think I should expect to hear back for knowing if I made it to the next round? 

I was told by HR they close the interviews for this year the 23rd of December. Should I contact them today to know about the outcome of my interview, or should I wait beginning of next week to follow up?

Hey there,

I completed my process with BCG Dubai a few weeks ago. I finished my first round on Friday, and by Monday mid-day, I already knew the outcome. My mentees had a similar experience.

I would suggest waiting until early next week. If you do not hear back from HR by Tuesday, you can reach out to them.

I'm happy to help if you have any further questions.

Best of luck,
Pietro

Hey there, 

BCG Dubai usually provides feedback within 2-3 days, but on occasion it can take a week. So if they take longer than a week, it would be reasonable to follow up with the recruiting team.

Hi there! Congrats on making it to the first round :) I would wait at least one week before reaching out. Firms have been taking a little longer than usual to get back to candidates, and we're close to the holiday season. Fingers crossed you receive some good news soon! 

Make sure you ask for feedback (if they don't offer) before your DR interviews if you make it to the next stage. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need help preparing for Decision Round.

Hi there,

Q: When do you think I should expect to hear back for knowing if I made it to the next round? Should I contact them today to know about the outcome of my interview, or should I wait beginning of next week to follow up?

Usually, it’s up to one week. If you don’t hear back within one week of the interview date, it is fine to follow up with HR.

Good luck!

Hey!

Given that BCG Dubai mentioned they close interviews for the year on the 23rd of December, it might be a good idea to wait until early next week to follow up if you haven't heard back by then. This would give the HR team some time to process interviews before the holiday break. If you decide to follow up, you could send a polite email early next week expressing your continued interest and asking for an update on the outcome of your interview.
