Not at Bain but I do a lot of interviews for my firm. Honestly my best advice is to just try keep the nerves at bay because the majority of high potential candidates that don’t pass have made silly errors or rushed through things due to nerves.

If you’re prone to anxiety stay far away from any caffeine etc.

Just do the best you can in there - the interviewers at Bain are not out to get you or trick you.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Hello Fishes!
I have been interviewed by QBurst and cleared 2 rounds and next will be managerial(todays from now) then a HR round.

I have, 2 YEO in NodeJs & Golang.
Current package is 4.2LPA

I've asked them for 10LPA at the beginning of the whole process. The hiring HR has told they'll try to make as best as they can, but cannot confirm my expectation.

I want any of yours suggestions about how much should I expect I'll get depending on my current package and YOE as per QBurst's standards?

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

But of course, it's all fake and payed 😂 turns out she wanted me to go there (even though I don't work for that TV network) so she's sure she'll be paid at the end of the show. Wth did I just do.
