Bain & Company Hey Bowlers — I’m prepping for an experienced consultant interview at Bain and would love to hear from anyone who’s been through it recently (or knows someone who has). I’ve got solid consulting experience, but I know Bain has its own flavor.Bain & Company

There’s a bunch of resources out there. Main things:
1. Learn case flow and frameworks
2. Practice doing mental/written math and learning short cuts
3. Do live case practice (more than time spent on 1-2)
4. Flesh out a few good work examples to talk through but don’t sound scripted
5. Make a wish cause a lot is luck

Hi Fishes
My Android career is in a good shape in India. My parents are considering a marriage alliance with an NRI who is a Civil engineer in Texas. If I move with him by leaving my current job, what are my job prospects in Texas? How long does it usually take to get work visa and how easy/tough is it to get a job there considering I have 6+ years of experience in the field?

Hi Fishes,

l interviewed for Deloitte (India not USI) in January, and accepted an offer letter with DOJ of 25th April, later HR asked me to join on 11th April for which I agreed. Now I haven't received the revised offer letter or any links other than BGV and Pre-Hire form from Deloitte and now the HR is not even picking my calls or responding to emails.

Any advice on what to do?

Do MBB pay a referral bonus if your referral gets hired?

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

Been working on mostly (about 70%) public sector policy and strategy at Big 4 for most of my career. Often go up against MBB on RFPs and have a decent win rate. Would I be too senior to come in as a lateral hire? I guess it’s all about client networks at this level, and being government, it’s locationally dependent - so which markets have need?
