Bain & Company Do the UG campus hire interviews for T2s/MBB have an emphasis on technical questions?

Asking because I have only done case/behavioral prep but I’ve heard of some people getting tough accounting/finance technicals. Is this common?

Mine didn’t have any “technicals” if you’re targeting the generalist positions. Not sure how it changes if you’re targeting something specific. It was just case and behaviorals for me. Aside from maybe knowing what some general finance terms are like profit margin and such (which you already know since you’re in PWC anyway)

It depends on your background, the area you’re looking to join, and whoever’s asking the questions.

Of course. Going into a technical role, expect technical questions. Going into a restructuring role, expect questions about cash flow in some way. Going into a generalist role, expect some cases and maybe some XLS questions.

But anyone could ask something from left field…

Generally no, you won’t get technicals like you would in finance.

Hey all! I have an interview with
Deloitte in Regulatory Risk and more precisely in their Investment Management Services team. I would like to know if anyone
knows what the job entails exactly. I keep hearing about people "fooled" into taking a job in risk advisory thinking it'll really be advisory while they only end up doing IT and Audit support (which I do not want to do).
Is it the case here?
Thanks!
