A bit stressed about my application timeline for MBB… I’m still practicing casing and am not ready for the real thing yet, but I heard it could take months for the firms to get back regarding a first round interview. Should I apply now or wait to apply until I’m ready for the case interview?

Apply now. I had a month between my application and first round and would’ve applied sooner had I known I’d have that long of a grace period

This was also for campus recruiting so experienced timeline is likely longer

I would echo A1. I’m an experienced candidate and it took me 2 months to hear back on first round with a referral. They gave me 3 date options for round one ranging from a couple weeks out to a couple months out as well. Additionally, recruiters are very flexible with interview times in my experience. Was just told I could push my live case interviews as far back as needed after round 1 should I move on.

Round 1 your referring to EM cases or alumni case?

I’ve been interviewing with Google since July. Passed the first interview but the team I was matched with ended up hiring someone else. Recruiter told me that she will let me know if any other opportunities arise as I’m still in the running and haven’t been rejected. I know that interviewing with google is a long process but I’m worried the longer I wait the more likely I will be rejected or just never hear back. Anyone else in this situation? How long until you got an offer?
