Bain & Company Is there a cool down at Bain even if you don’t make it past the resume screen? Applied a couple months ago on a whim (and a referral from a friend) having no experience with anything business/consulting related as a lateral (only had experience in research prior). Since then have had 2 months at a t2 firm plus some biz dev for a startup. I’m aiming to reapply at 6 months. For context graduated from a t10 school and thought I wanted to go to med school for a little bit lol. Bain & Company
Hello!
I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.
Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.

If you really want to test the waters, talk informally with a career coach or a headhunter. Your suggestion sounds awful
Terrible idea, I did that a couple of years ago and got blacklisted by the recruiter. Another recruiter told me that the recruiter that extended me the offer refused to work with me, and she was the only finance recruiter for Microsoft 😭
I wouldn’t say “now’s not the right time”...more valid reason is comp related imo. But the tricky thing there is what if they do give you the comp you requested? Hard to back out of that if you’re just testing out waters
Probably not terrible in the long run but definitely don’t expect to ever get another interview, let alone job offer
Interesting that the consultant Exit Opportunity bowl seems lukewarm, maybe positive about doing this whereas this Finance bowl is a strong no.
