If I reschedule a first round with an MBB for a following week, is there any chance of them moving forward with other candidates ahead of me in the interview process?

In short, no.

If it’s for a role hiring one person (example: HR Analyst for Chicago office) they will finish all interviews before making offer. You will get your results after all candidates finished (could be weeks).

If it’s for a role hiring lots of people (ex: Associate in Chicago office, where Associate is a generalist consultant), they will make offers on rolling basis. If you’re in interview pipeline you will still get fair chance and same evaluation. You will get your results in 1-2 days. They won’t start you in interview process if pool of slots is full.

See my answer below.

Aaah M1 not sure if I fully agree. It’s definitely more competitive at the end of the cycle (assuming the role has a cycle, e.g. Asc, BA). I’ve been in R2 decision rooms.

Heyy people,

Couldn't attend this interview at PwC due to last minute technical difficulties. I requested HR to reschedule it. She said it's not possible this week and she'll try her best for the next week. I am really tensed, I don't want to throw away this opportunity. I was really looking forward for the interview. Would they really reschedule my interview?
