Bain & Company Bain & Company fishes - got an email from Bain recruiter to schedule first call over phone (not Zoom) for 30 minutes. Would appreciate if you can help me with what to expect from the first call? Is it going to be more of a recruiter screen to understand my background on the surface, or I can expect more technical and /or behavioral questions as well?

The first. HR screening. More of a call to make sure you have potential for the role, set expectations, and talk you through the process. Good luck !

Thanks a lot

Make sure you sound super hyped about the role and I think you’ll do just fine! All the best

Thank you very much

Just curious, are you interviewing for a role in northeastern US? Good luck!

Yes it is, thanks

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
