What is the deal with Bain’s current hiring? At my MBA program they were super high touch with a bunch of people (like multiple dinners) and barely gave out any internship interview invites compared to McKinsey and BCG (talking like less than 5 interview invites from Bain vs maybe 20 or 30 each from the other two).

Bain is smaller, the least diversified in terms mix of services, and at the highest risk in a down market such as this one of going under or getting acquired (going the path of Booz, Parthenon, Monitor, PRTM, etc.)

Is Accenture still thinking about buying Bain?

A few second years/Career Services at my program told me that Bain is notorious for leading people on and keeping them through the process but then being stingy with invites.

I should clarify that I fully didn’t expect to get an offer from Bain (I got a different MBB so I’m also not salty) but some people did 3 mock cases with Bainies and went to dinner multiple times and got offers from the other 2 MBBs and not from Bain. Just was like damn that was an extraordinary amount of effort on Bain’s part to give out barely any offers.

If it makes you feel any better, they invited many second years to interview but gave out little to very few full-time offers. Every firm is managing head count rn and Bain probably the most susceptible to the recent interest hikes given so much of their business is in the PE space.

Bain is smaller and generally makes fewer offers. For example, they always have multiple coffee chats at HBS but extend few invites at the end of the day.

They’re smaller by quite a bit so this tracks

As noted size and type of work impact hiring in any particular year. Also important to remember that some firms are very high touch so they feel comfortable with a small interview list as they already did their vetting. Other firms will interview a ton of people and do their vetting there.

All to say, I don’t think offer rates are standardized and have seen firms interview ~20 people with the intention of only offering low single digits.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
