Bain & Company Followed up with a recruiter 2 weeks after final interview for an internal role at Bain & Company and they told me “we haven’t made any decisions yet”. How would you interpret that? Could it take that long to make a decision?

Most likely you're the 2nd choice (or more). And they're waiting for the 1st choice to confirm and/or join.

That happened to me, means they’re 50/50. FWIW, I ended up getting rejected

Probably didn’t get the role. Might be different for non-consulting roles, but usually have a decision within 1-2 days.

That they haven’t made a decision yet? With a lean toward you didn’t get the role.

Sorry OP 🥺

Agree with above—I’ve seen it before, although agree that 2 weeks is longer than usual

Yep, a bank kept saying for a month that they still haven't made a decision. And then ghosted me after that
