I found so many job postings for various positions in sales at Amazon I have applied to them on LinkedIn. But Amazon never responds to any of my applications. I have 6+ yoe worked with big companies like Nestle, Reckitt and now at Allergan. I am a well seasoned Sales professional. Can someone help me out with the hiring process ?Amazon Amazon India

Think about it this way: The bar to get into BCG (can’t speak for Bain) doesn’t change. Apply whenever you will be best prepared to meet that bar. If you are working in banking up until one week before the first interview set and won’t have time to case prep, do the second. If you have a big on campus event you run that is the week of the second, apply to the first.
What the recruiter is saying that officially it doesn’t matter is true. The differences in hiring targets will be negligible, they’ll probably defer / wait list on the cusp round 1 people until round 2 has gone to Make sure we have spots for those that crush it . We care about getting the best, so you should interview when you are at your best and don’t try to game the system.
Agree with BCG1. One thing to consider is that if you receive multiple offers, they may expire fast. If you plan to apply to multiple MBBs, best to do similar timing so you can compare multiple offers
What BCG1 said. The first deadline exists mainly for those with exploding offers elsewhere, so those candidates can make a decision in time. So if you don’t have an offer elsewhere that you need to decide on, you really don’t need to rush for that deadline and should apply/interview when you’re at your best.
