Got a reject from baincap portfolio team after recruiter saying ‘good feedback’ after final round. Feeling really dejected and bummed :(((
Through the preparation, I felt I really wanted the job. Which firms should I apply to and how? This one was through an exec recruiter reach out on LinkedIn

Was this to join Bain Capital or join one of their portfolio companies? Usually joining the latter and working your way to the former is a good path. As to which firms to apply to - there’s a plethora of mid/lower tier PE firms in dire need of operations talent and leadership. But the key word there is operations. Not blue sky strategy or pretty PowerPoint decks. Operations. Hardcore P&L ownership. Trenches.
