Bain & Company Hi everyone,
Related Posts
Need some advice here. I am a fullstack developer with 5 yoe in Angular and Python. My aim is to crack FAANG companies.Now I got an offer from HSBC in a credit risk model monitoring role using Python.It is close to a data engineer role.
My question is that will it be a good idea to shift from development role to a model monitoring role if I want to move to FAANG in the future?Or does FAANG not prefer people who are not in core development roles?Amazon Microsoft Google Adobe PwC EY Citi Barclays JPMorgan Chase

AFAIK the interview process is the same. Laterals from industry were fairly common in 2021-22, but the success rate wasn't great - lots were transitioned out within 2 years. Can't speak for other MBBs, but Bain didn't seem to have a ton of success integrating industry hires, at least in my office.
Do you know why lateral hires had a lower success rate than MBA Cs? & which office are you in?
IMO its's because Bain has a very particular way of doing things, and that can be a tough adjustment from someone who is coming from industry or another firm, whereas the MBA hires have less 'un-learning' to do. I was in one of the larger offices (NY, SF, Chicago).
