One thing to note is that the comp. would be 30-40% lower in London compared to SF/Chicago, at least in consulting or Pharma

SF has a lot of tech and retail. Chicago has pretty good mix across industries, including retail / CPG, industrials, manufacturing, energy, etc.

Pro tip: for offices of interest at Bain, a strong proxy for case mix is just looking at the focus areas of the partners in that office.

WLB and culture is strong across all of the offices you mentioned.

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
