Bain & Company Got dinged after a final round AC interview with Bain & Company as an experienced hire with 1 YOE. Currently at $75k base salary and on average work 30-40 hours a week.
Considering $15-25k increase in salary, but double the number of work hours, is it worth reapplying to Bain next year or better to wait to apply until after business school?

For both PEG and non-PEG, AI leverage seems to be translating to more scope, rather than capturing efficiencies for better WLB. This is dangerous because adding scope turns into a runaway train, hence the hours.
Partners aren’t going to anything about this because they either don’t care about the team at all ($ > team), or are insecure about their revenue. Plus they’re more distant from the teams than senior managers and they take advantage of that distance, so the SM is forced to clean the toilets.
All this to say: we are taking AI gains in the wrong places and are amassing an incredible amount of unproductive tension that falls on SMs to solve.
