A BCG recruiter ghosted me after she reached out to schedule an interview. How long should I wait before following up? What is the common courtesy to give to ppl at BCG. I don’t wanna come off as too aggressive but I really need to get this interview set as there are other pending confirmations Boston Consulting Group

Here is what I did:
1. Told my manager I am aiming for a promotion and asked (clear practical steps) what do I need to do to get here and how he can support me
2. Asked my manager who would be the best person to mentor me (join all stages of calls) asked the mentor to join the calls and did as much as I could while hitting my numbers
3. Built so much pipeline that there was a need for a new AE and then jumped on it as soon as there was an opportunity.
When I told my manager I want to be an AE as soon as possible he said I can take some smaller deals as soon as I feel ready. However to note - I work at a startup.
