Submitted my application to Boston Consulting Group US 7 weeks ago.

The application said expect to hear back in 6 weeks (experienced hire - applied through a referral) but haven't heard back. There's no application status on the website as well

I understand hiring needs for 2023 are being determined, so should I just wait for the rejection/next steps or reach out to my referer to speak with the experienced hiring team

Anyone who has been in a similar situation, what'd y'all do?

Oh, okay

I will just wait

Continue to wait

Sure, will continue to do that

Email the person who referred you and they can ask recruiting

Bcg2 sure thing

I applied with referral 5 months ago and haven’t heard back. They said to keep in touch and they would contact people if hiring needs change.

Oh, okay

Damn 5 months

The odds for the interview seem to be slim based on the limited info you provided and contextual knowledge I have . But you never know . Just move on . One day they may call you.

Okay thank you

Overall, with the slowdown, our hiring needs aren’t the same as last year (or even early this year). Ask whoever referred you to check in with recruiting, but I’d expect very little traction unless you had a very strong background

So I won't even get a rejection?

A colleague told me today that Google separates Product Manager and Product Owner as two separate roles. I believe that one PM role is preferred in the industry and most modern software companies, especially FAANG companies, only have PMs. Just curious what others have experienced and if I'm correct in my assumption.

Hi all, I’d love to hear from PR/Comms folks about the process of transitioning from agency to an in-house role. What kind of chance does a PR pro with ~7 years of solid experience across CPG and hospitality brands, including a mix of global agency work and smaller boutique firms, have at going in house? Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently
