Yeah I’d follow up again tomorrow around lunch, recruiting teams are dealing with crazy volume of non-traditional recruiting at the moment so they probably just got swamped

helpful

Awesome thanks - I’ll just do that then and I assumed that they just got busy

They probably just got busy, they couldn’t possibly reject you based on that? I’m not in BCG tho so can’t say for certain.

Would wait until Monday to follow up again and say you’re still available to talk.

Hey all, first time poster here and still consider myself fairly new to consulting so please be kind. Questions for past/ current Accenture folks: I noticed in some threads that SC level only applies to strategy consulting. Could Product Manager be SC level if I have my MBA or is it not even considered a Strategy role? And do they only consider you an “MBA hire” if it’s top tier MBA? Lastly, I’ve seen quite a big salary range for MBA hires. Anyone care to share the latest? TIA.

Did they choose a candidate already? It’s weird it never happened to me before
