Bain & Company Hi everyone! A quick Q: I am starting at Bain & Company in 2 months (a junior position) and I was wondering if you have any recommendations on courses (such as PowerPoint, excel…etc) that you think might be useful to go through prior to the start day. And what would you prioritise? Thank you in advance!

I have to pick a direction to move ahead in, Brand & Marketing Design(with website) vs Product design (Games UXUI , Physical and digital)

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
