I have an interview coming up with Bain and I’m really nervous about some fit questions such as “why Bain?” I really wanna steer away from typical answers available online and say things that are specific to Bain, specifically Toronto office, and make me stand out. Any ideas?

Don't think you're going to find the answer to this on Fishbowl

Compare what you understand your past to Bain culture. What are you moving towards that is exciting? You have tons of reasons to move…I recommend spending time like it was an essay question

Do a swot of Bain and spit out some of the strengths and opportunities for you .
