If I get rejected from MBB in the resume screening phase (computer and/or recruiter decides not to pass my resume to the hiring manager), am I still subject to the “cool down” period where I can’t apply again for another year or so? Or does that only happen if I get rejected after having an interview?

Min 6 months at BCG in North America if rejected at application stage.

Best to get a strong referral, with the referring BCGer sending a follow up email to the recruiting team. Good luck!

12 months for us (both for CV screening and interview)

Thanks for the responses. So is this something that is automatically tracked where you will be instantly rejected if you apply again during that timeframe, even if you were just dinged by the computer?

I think there’s a question in the application which asks whether you’ve applied in the last 12 months. Won’t let you submit if you say “yes”.

Also of note, even if you get a referral you’re still subject to the six month wait time. Exceptions are made but the referring BCGer would need to push hard with recruiting for that timeline to be shortened.

Hey fishes,
I am selected in EY and had 3 client round too.
I have around 3 YOE in devops. But from Interview I get feeling they want me to handle the setup from scratch and only one other Devops resource is there it seems. I haven't worked as primary in my current role and I am nervous that there will be too much of expectation and I won't be able to deliver without guidance as some of the tech is new to me.I don't think I have the expertise that they need. Should I not join?
Pls advice.

3. Honestly- I have seen SF people pushing for products which are really not needed by clients. I can never do such a thing - so is there an expectation from the AE’s that Architects should do so?

TIA
