Hi Fish Fam

Strategy consultant looking to move to Bain. Have received offers from LEK and OW, and have an upcoming BCG interview but I prefer Bain culture.

Anyone open to chatting or helping out?

I prefer Bain over McK, BCG, and OW and didn’t really like LEK. Would love a chance to connect if you’re open to it @B1

Sure thing.

Bain culture is pure leverage.
Go with the firm that interested you more during the process.
At the end of the day it’s about people and not culture.
My 2 cents...

I mean, we spend to much effort “selling” our culture (I include myself in that).
Trust your gut: which firm you like the most?

Nice to read that! Indeed we have a nice culture :)
Can you share your target office?

Update: I’m now in contact with a recruiter and am exchanging emails. She’s encouraging me to formally apply online after looking at my profile. Should I do so now or still try to secure a referral prior to applying online? To my knowledge, referral can make all the difference?

Any Advice?

Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
