How difficult is it to break into Bain Ny from a school on the west coast (non Stanford)? If i do well on the first round and get past it, will there still be a possibility I get turned down for an interview for my final round?

Once you get an interview, your school & background doesn’t matter haha...they use those filters before offering first round interviews. So if you get “past” the first case round, you get a final round...you get “past” the final round, you get an offer.

Bain is super regionally organized, so it can be tough to get into the office that isn’t recruiting at your school. I don’t work at Bain, but that was my experience during my process with them.

OP your school is likely connected to an office who is responsible for recruiting from it.

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.

Hello,

Last Wednesday I was able to get a
Deloitte job referral, I applied the next day. Yesterday I signed in to my account and it shows that I applied for the job but when I click on the link it show me an error page. I searched for the job on the website itself and it disappeared. There were like multiple positions but different locations, now they’re all expired. What does this mean? Did they choose a candidate already? It’s weird it never happened to me before

Thank you in advance 🙏🏻
