Bain & Company Hi guys. Quick question - Going through my First Round of interviews at one of the MBBs. Finished one interview this week and have the remaining 2 interviews next week (all as part of first round). For the behavioral questions in the upcoming interviews, am I okay to repeat stories that I already shared in my first interview? Or would I need to come up with new stories? Thanks!
