Got referrals for MBB, but it’s been almost a month since and I haven’t heard back. The referrals were from folks that didn’t know me well, so I assume that they weren’t too fervent in pursuing it?
Does it look like I should receive it as a no already? What’s a “normal” timeline in such cases?

It can take months
It’s better to wait. If you push they may just send a rejection
If you wait, perhaps an offeree won’t sign and you may get an opportunity

I see, thank you!!

It can for sure take months. What I do know is that BCG and Mck will for sure tell you yes or no. They don’t ghost.

Bain… let’s just say I have an open referral app from early 2021 that still says “in review”. 😅
