Dude just go straight from Bain…plenty of MFs hire consultants

For some reason i read as this as "plenty of mother f... hire consultants"

Apply to IBs?

funny

Wait what about working with HHs to get to Bain Cap, Golden Gate, Audax, etc?

And for IB, literally just apply as others have said

Definitely stay at Bain. Just learn to model and you’ll be in the running for a lot of MFs, and tons of UMM funds (some of which are preferable to MFs imo)

MBA?

Do I need to network with recruiters for IB or just apply? Will referrals make any difference?

Just apply and refer me to Bain. Thanks.

Are you post MBA? Or Pre?

MBB to MF. No IB needed

Post MBA is more difficult if you don’t have Pre MBA buy side experience. Would be easier if it was MBB to MBA to MF

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.
