Bain & Company I received an offer to join Bain & Company for SF office but due to family reasons, I will have to stay in the South Bay. Given Bain’s local staffing model, it will be challenging for me to commute to SF and back. Is it possible to be transferred to the palo alto office/is that office fully functioning or does it mainly serve as a hub for partners and research?
Waiting for BCG R1 results…. 😕
Bain & Company My 13 YO is taking Career and Tech. She is dead set on diving for Michigan. What are her chances of getting hired from MBB with a degree from UM? Or would she need her MBA first? Is a Michigan degree good enough to get you into a top MBA program?

You will not be able to negotiate any part of your comp except maybe the signing bonus. It is standardized across cohorts
Role would be based in Chicago if that helps your calculus.
You should target Senior Associate at minimum. If you have a history of promotions and/or are acting as a manager, you could push for Consultant.
Rough total comp is:
- Associate: 100-110k
- Senior Associate: Unsure
- Consultant: ~200k
Believe senior associate comp is closer to associate than consultant (maybe 120-130?).
Its 175, potentially up to 230
Is leveling determined pre or post interview? And are you required to apply to both Asc/C roles if you’re unsure of the level?
