How do Bain first rounds work for campus hires? Is it for a specific office or do I need to pass a first round before I know which office my final round is for?

Your first round will typically be conducted by the office associated with your school. You will then have your final round conducted by the office that your offer would come from.

This. You’ll give office preferences at the time of your application and the first round.

And if you do well but your target office doesn’t have spots left, they’ll ask you for your preferences and shuttle you off to a different office (vs dropping you)

I'm a management consultant. Completed 10 years of professional life. I want to learn a foreign language which would help me get a job outside India. I don't want to become an expert, but at least want to learn basic conversation skills.
Dear sharks, tell me your thoughts on which language I should learn and why you advocate that language.
Thanks in advance.

Just walked out of REG and I feel like I did really good on the first 3 testlets but then got destroyed on the last 2.

2 of the sims I'll probably score 25% on. 2 other sims I'll probably score between 50% and 70%. The rest of the sims I feel good on and I think I got the research question right.

Really hope it was enough to pass. Anyone have a similar experience and still pass?
