From a work perspective, are there areas other than PEG where Bain wins out over McKinsey and BCG? What does the future of Bain look like relative to its competitors?

So far, I can see that McKinsey and BCG have invested more in AI / Digital, and general design of their materials and offices. Is this other people’s perceptions as well?

Bain also has strengths in customer strategy and consumer products; not as differentiated as PEG is but definitely strengths. Definitely building strengths in Utilities and energy transition work as well. Bain isn’t leading the charge on digital work but that doesn’t mean it’s not competitive. The smaller scale of Bain somewhat lends itself to more of a fast follower model but it has had a ton of growth over the L5Y. In terms of materials and office design, not sure what you mean by that. All 3 firms have very nice offices and high quality materials. Bain style might be slightly tailored more to collaboration due to PEG teams working in the office and not traveling, but I wouldn’t say it’s that noticeable.

Does Bain also have a no moonlighting clause like McKinsey and BCG? Like, can consultants there sell lemonade on the weekends?
