A friend of mine recently interviewed at Bain for an A1 position. After his final round they called to tell him he’d been placed on a waitlist— I’ve never heard of anything like that before. I know that they’re still interviewing candidates over the next few days. What does this even mean? I don’t see how anyone benefits

Lol… a friend, I promise 😰

It's somewhat common, but I didn't think they would told the candidate about it.

What I've been told is that although some candidates are an obvious "move on to next interview", some stay in the middle and they want to assess the whole pool - but idk why would tell your friend

Thats my thinking exactly— I’m sure they have an internal waitlist but why share it,?? MBB works in mysterious ways i guess

I’ve heard of someone being on a waitlist for 6 months . It was an interesting scenario
