Bain & Company Currently in R2 with Bain & Company . Interview was scheduled 3 weeks apart from R1. Now they pushed my interviews another week. What should I do? I’m worried that other candidates with offers are asking to speed up their process or maybe it’s just that Partners are very busy. Thanks!

Don’t worry about the timing. If you are applying for a consulting position, then you will be hired independently of other candidates being hired the week before or not.
What I mean is that this is not a recruitment process for one single specific position.

Don’t read too much into it. Best thing you can do is focus on yourself and crush your interview. I know with campus recruiting they had batches of candidates over 2 weeks. Whether you interviewed one week or another did not influence your offer decision. It’s probably similar to that for EH.
