I referred someone I truly see potential in and have also helped him with resume and casing. And he didn't even get invited for an interview. He stayed optimistic and passionate about the job, and asked me again for advice about reapplying this year. I don't know what to advice him. His resume looks good but didn't even get a chance for interview

Would a referral from someone more senior help?

Just curious, generally how impactful is a referral by an Associate Consultant/Business Analyst at MBB? Is it enough to automatically get past the resume screen usually, or does it usually just grant the resume another look?

Low impact, anything below M/PL/whatever Bains equivalent is probably doesn’t have much weight

Hi all,

I have cleared all the interviews for Walmart and salary negotiations are also done. A month ago the recruiter said that they are waiting on some approvals and once it is done we will be issuing the offer letter but I haven't heard back any other update since then. Am I getting rejected or is it normal to be on hold without any update for a month at this stage?
