I have the same question, I am in a director level role and I am very interested in Management Consulting, but I am concerned about taking a step back from a role and compensation perspective. Any thoughts on Raymond’s question (and mine as well)?

All the best

Hi Kevin,

I’m interviewing with Bain for their ACI position in a few days. They informed me that the first round would be 2 30 min case studies. I have 3 questions to this.

1. What type of case interviews will they give me (market sizing/business case/brainteasers or some combination)?

2. For a first round, I always thought that they would at least have some competency based interviews. However, judging from the email they sent me it looks as if it is entirely case based. Should I even spend a lot of time preparing for behavioral/fit questions?

3. I applied through early recruiting. Do you know if there is any difference between early and regular recruiting (besides the obvious difference in time)?

Anyways, thanks in advance. This site has helped me a lot including landing this first round interview.

For the first statistic, you mean 30%, not 3%, right?
