What type of role OP? Investing or operations?

Haha @ SVP1.

M1 - Interested in recruiting process for both sides. I don’t have an investing background and so not sure I’ll be an attractive candidate there. I’m more interested in ops roles but want to educate myself on the interview process before I initiate talks with the recruiter. How much does the process differ for both groups?

Are you asking about Bain Cap or Bain & Co's PEG?

Bain consulting’s Private Equity group

There is no separate process for PEG. PEG is just a rotation (6 months or so C and below, 1 year or so as a manager), and you can specialize in PE as a partner similar to another industry specialization, but you're just another consulting staff. Practice your casing, that's all!

Also, from your response to "investing or ops"... Bain & Co PEG does commercial DD, not investing or ops (though some deals turn into a post-acq ops case). Let's be clear, you're not in an investment firm, you're not doing financial DD, this is not Bain Capital, and a practice at Bain doesn't mean the same thing as a practice in a Big 4 (you're not aligned to a single practice until partner, and even then sometimes...).

Standard consulting cases, same as BCG / "Crack the case" stuff.

Market sizing, competitive landscape, revenue growth projections

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
