Because our industry is changing and clients demand / we need expertise far deeper through the team than before.
We just need to learn to incorporate them better - our internal operating model is still decades out of date, with few incentives for partners to use expertise.

B2, M3 - fantastic answers. Too many Bain partners have only ever been at Bain, have drink all the Koolaid, and so cannot comprehend the idea that someone outside the club might have a better way of doing things.

What’s the SM salary? I got a message from Bain recruiter recently

Appreciate the insight BC1.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been very impressed with the experience thus far, recruiting team has been pleasant and seemingly low ego. Vastly different than my interactions with other peer firms.

Do we expect this push for Q2 2026 as well? Or is this the last wave of hiring?

No one knows if you want to join apply know. Odds are still low and we are mostly just looking to cross hire from m,b, and boutiques
