McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company I had my final round interviews last Friday and have yet to hear back. Does this mean bad news? How long does it take for recruiters to get back whether you have failed/passed? Thanks much

Got mine 2 hours later - it’s normally fast if you’re going for the integrative track

It really depends on your interviewer schedules, but typically hours to a few days, with the longer end being more common recently.

Got mine a week later

Thanks all for the insights. I will probably wait it out but won't have high hopes. Thanks

Had a salary discussion with headhunter, who really lowballed me and told that the employer is not going to pay more than X.
The final interview is scheduled for tomorrow should I be expecting any salary negotiation during the final interview or after or is the number that I informally agreed to with a headhunter is set in stone?
How bad is it if I refuse to accept the offer? Will I be banned from working with that headhunting firm?
