I applied for Bain back in December. Got an email shortly after I took the test that I'd hear back with an update on whether I'd have an interview in early to mid February. Never heard anything. Is ghosting normal for Bain? I'm really surprised. Should I try to reach out to a recruiter there to try to see if I'm still in the pipeline?

No. It’s false hope. There was no mistake. Move on.

When they want to hire someone, they’re pretty quick. I applied, tested, and was offered a role within 7 weeks.

Same boat. Bain has opened apps again for EH, but those who applied late last year aren't eligible. Recruiters would have reached out by now if they wanted to interview us

Currently a Solutions Consultant at Pegasystems.

I am interviewing at and considering making a jump to

The reason for my move is currently at Pega SCs are treated more as AEs or Account Managers. The role at Oracle would be more of a true SC position. I also feel that Oracle will look BETTER on a resume and someone as young as me would have BETTER programs in place to train me and give me the foundation needed to be a successful SC.

Thoughts?

Just got a job offer but they are only giving me until Monday afternoon to decide. I'm currently in process at several other firms and the recruiter said they can't/won't give extensions.
