I was rejected by Bain after second round unfortunately. I had 3 interviews and received feedback from one of my interviewers (a manager). I asked if he knew what the feedback was from the partner, but he said he didn’t know and to ask the recruiter.

I’m wondering how the decision is made at the second round? Is the partner interview not used for decision making? Thanks!

Also - I have two second rounds with McK and BCG coming up. Any advice would be appreciated given this setback…

To show confidence and communicate clear and crisp is the best advice you can get. Solving cases is secondary tbh. Also, in my humble opinion, you won’t get much out of doing X more cases. 10 mock cases and you should be able to solve any case out there. Work on delivering your arguments and conclusions in a clear, precise and convincing manner and you’ll get a long, long way

Sometime these feedback might not be the only reason that you were not offered. I went through Bain final round 3yrs back to back and still have no luck

Hi Fishes,

I'm a data analyst(SQL, Python, ETL, Viz) with 6.5yrs exp at LTI(1 Month exp).
I left PWC AC after 6 months of joining because of the nature of dabba work I was getting(80% testing/documentation, 20% technical). Worked for 12+ hrs everyday and wanted to have some wlb.

Now in LTI, life is too peaceful and there's no technical work in current project. I'm getting thoughts like I'm wasting my skills by taking less tech projects at this stage of career.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
