How far does a referral go at Bain? A friend who is an AC “put in a good word” to the recruiter (after I had already been chatting with the recruiter about applying). Wondering if it moves the needle?

This is consulting. Most likely:

Referrals below partner put your name in the mix. If you qualify, you will get a call to get vetted before interviewing.

If you don’t meet your hiring needs, the referral means jack.

If a partner refers you, you might get a vetting call if you don’t 100% qualify. If you don’t perform well on that, you’re out.

At best, you’ll move from a “Maybe” to a “Yes” for the first round interview. Everything else after that is up to how you perform

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX.

I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?

Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!
