Three weeks of silence after TestGorilla is not automatically a rejection. Bain timelines can vary by office, role, and recruiting batch, and some candidates hear back only after several weeks.

If the application portal provides no useful status, a short recruiter follow-up is reasonable once enough time has passed. Keep it simple and ask whether there is an updated timeline for next steps.

Until Bain communicates a decision, do not interpret silence too aggressively. Continue preparing as if an interview is still possible.
