What has Bain done well historically to position themselves as the leader of PE space among the MBB? Why are they so heavily invested in the PE space vs other MBB players?

They founded what is essentially the first of what we think of as the modern PE firms, and the consulting side was the provider of choice for consulting services to the PE side. They invented consulting to PE shops.

Obviously KKR far predates Bain Capital but KKR and its contemporaries were really LBO shops, and their value add was in arranging financing. Bain Capital, under Mitt Romney and originally funded with Bain partner money, really pioneered the buy/improve performance to raise multiple/sell model, and they did it by hiring Bain & Co consultants to work in the businesses they had bought (and paid the fees by borrowing against the businesses, but that’s another story).

I believe they invented the service and therefore had a decade head start.

I just recently left big 4 in July to pursue a role at a fintech company.

Should I stick it out or look for something else even though I’ve only been here 2 months?
