A BCG recruiter ghosted me after she reached out to schedule an interview. How long should I wait before following up? What is the common courtesy to give to ppl at BCG. I don’t wanna come off as too aggressive but I really need to get this interview set as there are other pending confirmations Boston Consulting Group

Tell them to do better.
They’re not going to be able to do better. 2026 is a different world than 2025.
What is your current level at Deloitte? And how many years at level?
What is an L6?
They only offered 30k stock? I ended up not going but last year the offer was 250k base, 75k bonus and 100k stock.

What’s the deal with stock? How quickly does it vest?
1/3rd every year
Sign on has to have rationale .. what have you walked away from? A bonus not yet paid, a leave entitlement we don't offer.
There’s three pieces I would consider.
1) unpaid RSUs yet to vest
2) bonus for the 6 months of the fiscal year already passed
3) risk (risky joining a new firm as it can be tough to integrate and build a network, if things go bad here I’m getting max severance as I’ve been here 10 years, more risk elsewhere, if it’s a new practice or startup you can argue the risk is even higher)
If you’re leaving anything on the table, then you should ask and be able to get a sign on.
