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.

Are aggressive non-competes show stoppers for direct admit partners at MBB & T2? I'm a partner at a small boutique firm and we have very tight non-competes. Biggest issue is a 9 month period before starting new role at competing firm. I'm being recruited by a few firms. The recruiters seem to think it's a non issue but wonder if when it gets to offer stage it becomes a show stopper when partners realize I may not be able to start for 9 months. How do your firms handle these situations?

I interviewed for Data Analyst role at EY, it went well and the job sounds great, but I'm a bit hesitant to leave PwC because I really like the firm and I'm just 8 months in my job as an associate at a subgroup of ITS that has some focus on technology and analytics but it's mostly tax compliance.

I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.

Any advice or similar experience?

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
