Can anyone tell me what the dress code typically is for women at Bain? Do people usually bring a purse to work, or is it generally more backpacks/ more relaxed vibe?

I sometimes throw a small purse in my backpack if I think I will be going somewhere for lunch where I will want wallet and phone, but will not want to lug my backpack. However, unless you carry a purse that is a huge tote - no idea how you would carry what you need to and from work - ie your laptop, charger, etc. Virtually no one who isn't adm carries just a purse.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
