Bain šŸ  how strict is the bar for passing the first round for a campus hire? Thought I couldā€™ve done better on the first case but near perfect on the second

Itā€™s very high. Bain is known to give a lot of 1st rounds and then cut a lot before final round. Thatā€™s why their 1st round is the shortest, 60min (vs. 120min for McK and 90min for bcg)

That feels about right - Iā€™ve seen 15-30% for each round depending on the year (after the initial interview; the % there is obviously smaller given the # of applications)

Could be enough esp. if the better interview was with someone more tenured!

Pretty high, but if you really crushed the second and weā€™re decent on the first, you still have a shot! Good luck!

What are you interviewing for

AC recruiting actually started already at some schools! My friendā€™s sibling had one today

As others have said itā€™s definitely high, but a ā€œfineā€ and a ā€œcrushed itā€ can definitely be enough to pass through. At the end of the day both interviewers need to agree and feel comfortable passing you on as one of like ~3-4 people out of a full day interview slate of 12-14 people.

Hello all, this is my first post! Currently at US Bank as a mortgage officer and looking to go to Chase. Iā€™m on the third rd of interviews for a Relationship Banker position and have 7 years Military leadership experience, 7 years sales which include 3 years mortgage lending. One year left to complete my MBA. Should I make the move or stay where Iā€™m at? And what is the typical salary and commission to be expected on the offer letter? Any information would be great.

Completed my loop for an L5 TPM role last Friday (I split my loop into 2 days ā€” game changer!). My biggest advice is use the peer informal interview to your fullest advantage. I got some extremely useful information from the individual on what the team does and I was able to tailor my examples / stories accordingly.

I heard back yesterday immediately after my debrief that I got the job!
