Any insights into Bain first round? It’s two 30 minute interviews but that’s all I really know. Assuming two cases, but anyone know about fit or anything else to expect?

Assuming entry-level AC, I just had mine three weeks ago (Brazilian's office).

50 minutes - 1 hour for each interview. One usually has a longer fit (20 minutes) and the other a quick fit and a longer (and kinda harder) case. Usually it isn't a hard case in neither of them, just a quantitative case or a simple quantitative with qualitative insights.

Mine was applied by a Case team leader and one SAC (senior AC). 2nd round will have the partners. Although at BCG I got a partner already in the very first interview, so it's not a rule

Bain 2 I dmd you a qq about that

Almost certainly at least one market sizing

I mean market sizing is fairly common but miles from a sure thing. I feel like most Bain cases are a pretty good distribution of types but I feel like a basic profit framework type case is most common, moreso than market sizing/entry.

Hello Fishes, I have a Job offer from Cisco and Verizon(VDSI).

Cisco CTC - 16.2LPA , Fixed - 15.1LPA - Cisco TAC role.

Verizon data services llc - CTC 18LPA , Fixed - 16.1LPA

YOE - 6.5 Years
CCTC - 7.2 LPA
Tech - Networking and Security

Conflicted between both as I believe Cisco has a better brand value and great company to work for. But the offer from Verizon is competitive.

Is it a good idea to renegotiate with Cisco based on current offer from Verizon. Please share your thoughts.
