Is an interview at Bain guaranteed if I get a referral from a current consultant?

Nope. I would say principal (now called associate partner) or above is all but guaranteed. Referral from a consultant will likely guarantee a solid look but the resume will still have to pull some weight!

You can tag a referral after it’s submitted, just make sure it happens soon after it’s been submitted
