Positive feedback, but the decision took several months given the internal process to approve these hires per the recruiter. Ultimately did not get an offer due to "the number of expert hires in NAM already this year". Two questions:
a) Is this a nice way of saying we found someone we liked more or is hiring in fact capped after a number of expert hires regardless of capability area?
b) If it's the latter would you expect the recruiter to re-engage once hiring opens up again or worth following up yourself?

P1 - congrats?

Thanks

OP how many years of con exp did you have when you got promoted / hired as a director?

10 years

Yeah honestly I wouldn't sweat it. It's them not you. I asked bec titles are....fluid these days

Thanks I1. Not sweating it, particularly considering that the BCG folks on here don't really seem to have the insight into the situation

OP - former BCGer here - my experience lends credit to that reason. Each NAM region usually has a projected and current needs target for new hires each year. It is reasonable that you could have been towards the end of the hiring cycle.

Hello! I’m a law student who’s graduating in 2023 from a top Canadian law school. I’m really hoping to land a first-year associate position at a US law firm (or in the Toronto office of a US law firm) this summer, and I’d appreciate any advice on how to do so as there is no formal recruit/I did not participate in the 2L NY/LA recruit. I’m open to any corporate transactional work. Thank-you!

Any suggestions on how this might be addressed?
