Hey everyone, applying to Bain FT as an advanced degree candidate. Does anyone know if Bain will recruit FT outside of its ADvantage program and would ADvantage interviewees/participants be prioritized for FT recruiting? Thanks! Bain & Company

Wouldn’t count on Bain full-time if you didn’t get Advantage. Last year even for Bain advantage the actual offer rates for those who passed the interview and attended ranged from 25~30% so not great numbers. FT hiring for ADC was basically completely frozen. As the economy still hadn’t fully bounced back, if you didn’t get Advantage I would focus your attention more on BCG bridge (if you got the invite) or McKinsey Insight/ full-time (McKinsey was the only MBB I’m aware of that still hired ADC to some extent last year for full-time).

Given that there's not a lot of external hiring happening outside the main recruiting programs (e.g., on-campus recruiting), I would recommend trying to do it through ADvantage if you can. However, always worth reaching out to a recruiter if you missed this cycle!

Wow 25-30% that’s abysmal…. Can’t imagine going through all that and only have that low of a chance. I know that 2021 and 2022 Bain did FT recruiting and thought things are back to normal this year…BCG also recruited FT last year in Boston and NY office at least

BCG1 are we talking about 2023 or 2022? 2022 Advantage had extremely high acceptance rates like you mentioned. 2023 was abysmal given the economic outlook. Bain SF hired 2-3 ADC out of 10 for Advantage. My SO’s target office, where they attended Advantage, also only accepted 3/10. People that my SO asked at various U.S. offices also reported similar offer rates for Bain Advantage. Last year was terrible for ADC recruiting in general and Bain Advantage was no exception
