For PEI questions, can you speak about experience that only involves yourself if relevant (e.g., tell me about a time you failed)? Or should every story have someone involved?

Just answer the question your interviewer asks! Will be clear if it involves how you worked with other people or not

Well if they ask for a leadership example and you go talking about yourself only, that probably sounds kind of goofy.

Otherwise sure, a challenge can be very personal, a success can be your own, and a failure can be your fault not so much the teams. Try not to share a story where you tanked the entire team’s deliverables haha.

When are Bain start dates for New AC hires usually? I’ve heard July and September? Would be it be early, mid or end of each month? Thanks all!

I’ve spoken to people at all the MBBs and here’s some thoughts-
1) BCGers have been the friendliest and happiest personality wise
2) McKinsey folks have been helpful but to the point, objective
3) Bain folks have also been helpful but maybe a little bit in between 1) and 2)

Thoughts? Does this reflect the general people culture of each firm or am I misreading the cues?
