Have a 45 minutes Experience Interview with Bain. Should I expect a small case market sizing problem? Do they tend to jump around on multiple topics or drill down on one trait? Any advice on prep?

Looking for red flags (don't want to hire bullies...etc.) and genuinely interested in your experience (what did you achieve and what was your part in it)

Thanks Bain1. Any chance of a short case? Want to allocate prep time accordingly.

Small market sizing possibly, but focus would be on your cv etc.
