Common Bain final round cases in the US? I have two interviews and wanted to see if it’d be standard profitability, etc., or are they completely random like thanksgiving dinner or something. Thanks!

My two cases were complete opposite: one traditional profitability case; the other was a project that a recent partner had worked on, so it was more of a fluid brainstorming exercise

For preparation, I’d focus on profitability cases and just be flexible depending on how the conversation goes

like

There is no common type - know profitability, situation analysis (market sizing, market entry, etc).

Know how to brainstorm, interpret charts, and how to lead the convo. We’ve standardized recruiting a lot to minimize implicit bias so you can get a “McKinsey style” or a “Bain style” - it’s not necessarily the interviewee led always.
