Had final rounds with Bain on Friday morning but haven’t heard back. Friend from same school and who interviewed with the same partners got a call (offer) Friday night. Should I hold my breath or is it likely a no going into next week?

Hold your breath and have faith! Maybe your profile is being shared with more than 1 partner, maybe HR was rushing to enjoy Friday happy hour, maybe the brightest candidates believe they deserve something better and planning to decline offer..... Think positive while waiting for an official news comes into your way, wish you best of luck!

You’re still fine. Honestly whoever is assigned to call you just didn’t want to do it on Friday night. You will hear either way soon.
