Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?
Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.

Familiarize yourself with the company, and be able to tell them why THEIR company. There are so many people out here applying for jobs. You want to stand out with your passion for the work and the company.
If I know someone in the company, but the interviewer is wary that I am getting a recommendation due to friendship instead of skills (i have both), do you think that will be enough?
Be prepared to talk about supply chain mechanisms specific to the company/industry. Ask about their technology-environment framework.
Before the interview, research the company and the position you are applying for. This will help you to understand the company's needs and how your skills and experience can meet those needs.

What’s the specific job you’re applying for at the company? I agree, research the company, discuss relevant challenges and explain how you have experience overcoming those challenges.

Research the company as well as the types of products and services you may be purchasing in your role. Highlight relevant skills to be successful in the role like any contracting and procurement, working with vendors and cross-functional partners etc.
1. Know your stuff.
2. Observe and adapt. I find something to create a common ground. If they have a polo with a college on it, ask if they went there. If you see sports memorabilia, ask about that. Dont force it and don't dive into something you cant talk intelligently about, but that small talk will put the interviewer in a more positive frame of mind.
3. Read the room. Watch how interviewer reacts to what you say and dive further in or wrap up quick.
4. Don't overthink what you say. Do your best and learn from every interview.
