I felt that one of my final round cases didn’t go very well, took me what felt like forever to figure out that a weird factor (climate) was driving YOY sales changes. But I kept my cool throughout and never said anything wrong/stupid so I guess that is what pushed me through (as well as crushing the other case).

How soon do you find out C1? Same day or sometime later...?

Hmm it is the team dynamic and the case results - hang in there

Probably done

OP, what kind of questions?

Bye felicia

Ya you need to crush both

How soon did they return back to you BCG1? I would friggin jump on the job if I get it but if it doesn't work out then I have ready myself for the slog that is MBA recruiting.

Next day

Speaking from personal experience...not all hope is lost!

All hope is lost! Got the rejection email...gonna prep more and try again from B-School. Need to first raise my GMAT more.

Hi Fishes,

I applied to one of the roles and after initial screening I happened to see in the website that there are no suitable openings for my profile.

I heard that the cool off period is six months. Does that apply to my situation because I didn't attend any interview.

Can I use referals to apply before 6 months? Or should I wait for 6 more months?

Thanks for your help.
