Is there anything unique to Bain cases versus McKinsey/BCG, asking for a friend who is interviewing for an internship.

Bain likes variwides. Otherwise felt very similar to ours.

If you ask it like that, my response will be some variation of “Why do you want sales info?”

Much better would be a more conversational version of “Reflecting on this framework for identifying why ClientCo is losing money, and the fact that you said costs are actually decreasing, my hypothesis is this must be a revenue issue. I expect sales numbers have declined recently and would like diagnose whether it’s an issue with volume, price, or mix. Do we have sales data broken out across their 3 main segments?” I now understand your thinking, see your structure, and know you’re headed in the right direction.

McKinsey is the most different of the 3. Interviewer led and PEI both feel quite strange.

Bain does more graphical cases where they present charts in response to your questions

Thanks for the tips! Could you give an example of a question that I might ask which would lead to a chart being presented? Like maybe - do we know anything about their recent sales numbers?

What would an example insight be that they be looking for you to spot in a chart?

Hi Fishes,
Need some positive suggestions.

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.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
