Recently interviewed with Bain (US east coast) for a post MBA consultant role and waiting to hear the final results. Been 4-5 days and haven't heard back. They said "All decisions will be communicated by Thursday, October 6th". But I haven't received anything yet - written or on the phone. Followed up with HR but haven't received anything in reply yet. Maybe too early to follow-up. Does that mean I am rejected?

Hello,

 

I see all the terrible reviews about the B4, and I don't really

I'm at a senior accountant level, MBA, and no CPA - planning to

sit in the next few months. Can anyone recommend which B4 I should look at and which to avoid?

 

Also, I'm in need of a referral.

 

Thanks!

Likely will be self sponsored so scholarships would be nice. For reference, I’m an Asian male in STEM.
