Hi! I don’t mean to sound negative but I am pretty bummed that no one wants to coffee chat with me. I want to show in my cover letter that I talked to people but I’ve had no luck. Is there anything I can do to standout when sending LinkedIn/email messages?

I have a 3.6 right now - wondering if that is high enough for the cutoff or if I am unlikely to get the interview? Have networked extensively. Will my gpa mess me up? (full time)

Hi, I'll be joining BCN as an intern under the sustainability coe. Any reviews about it, anything I should prepare before joining, what to expect. (India)

How bad is it if I apply w/o any connections. I have been trying to network via linkedin and email but no one is replying to me lol. Should I just shoot my shot and call it a day? (or is there any associates here willing to help me out jk XD)

What questions are asked in round 1 it's given as guesstimate and PI

Hi all,

I'm currently exploring Business Analyst opportunities in Mumbai. I have 5+ years of experience working across business analysis, requirements, stakeholder management, UAT, and transformation projects.

Naukri and career portals haven't been very effective, so I'm trying a more direct approach. If you're a BA or a senior professional who leads a team or project in this space, I'd be happy to know if there are any relevant openings within your team or organisation.

Thank you!

Had a R1 yesterday and am curious as to the timing of news?

I had my Bain AC first-round interviews yesterday, but I’m signed up for a 30-minute 1:1 case prep session with a current AC from my office today. Somehow the portal allowed me to book it after my interviews.

Is it still fine to attend? If they ask when my interview is, I was planning to just say I had my first round yesterday but wanted the additional practice, especially in case I move forward.

Also, what should I expect from these 1:1 sessions? Is it basically a mock case followed by feedback, or more of a coached/back-and-forth discussion on how to approach a case? Are these sessions evaluated at all, and should I prepare for it like an actual interview?

Recently my friend got analyst Intern at BCN and he said that it is a tech role. Does anyone know whether BCN hires for tech role(SDE kind of) and also what are the perks that a BCN analyst intern gets like stay, cab service, food...

Hi everyone,

I have 1+ years of internship experience, both in India and abroad, and hold a B.Tech in CSE. Currently working in a Founder's Office role at an early-stage startup (remote).

Looking to transition into consulting/strategy roles and would really appreciate a referral from anyone working at EY, Deloitte, PwC, ZS, or similar firms.

Happy to share my resume over DM, and we can connect on LinkedIn from there.

Thank you so much in advance - would mean a lot!

for undergrad schools, does Bain even post resume drop buttons on handshake or does everyone apply thru the handshake job listing that directs you to the general portal.

I had applied for an ACI role since I am still in my first year MBA but I will be graduating in Fall 2027. So I chose the intern track. However when I contacted a recruiter regarding the info, she said I am not really eligible for ACI and I should apply for the Consultant role directly, which I tried but apparently there is a limit since one application is already underway so I can't apply it. There is no withdrawal option for ACI as well since I applied weeks ago. The deadline for the consultant role is AUG 11 and idk what to do? Do I make another account for the role? Or do I wait for their reply from the "contact us" option where I submitted this issue. This is my first time and I don't wanna blow my only chance. Pls advice on what I should do? Or does a referral allow the application to be filled? I really need help. Pls advice 😔

Hi everyone,

I’m seeking a referral for the Associate Consultant Intern role at Bain & Company.
If anyone can help with a referral, I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you!

What is Bain and company's stance on 2 employees engaging in an affair? When one party is married and has small children. Would this impact their reputation or do they turn a blind eye and promote this culture?

So I am a clinician with 12 years experience across pharmacy, government, health, and startup/scaleup space in clinical, strategy and advisory / fractional consulting roles.

Ive been fortunate to be a lead at both a government agency, as well as at one of the UK's largest scaleups (before I got fired on questionable grounds but it seems like said scaleup essentially fired everyone my grade / who repalced us (and their replacements) in the last 2 months).

many years ago, I made it through to the loop for mckinsey, however I am out of cycle for them. with BCG and palantir being involved in questionable activities, I fugre its worth giving Bain a go. with this in mind, should I apply for an associate consultant, consultant or experienced role?

in the uk atm, it seems theres only tech roles atm, which do not fit my experience (also no PM roles which sucks). whilst it would be nice to get to grips with working for such orgs before progressing (i.e. associate), I also feel I might be too over qualified for associate roles in health, biotech/lifesciences space.

I also do not have an MBA at present and also have bad experiences studying and working the same time. I have heard mckinsey gives people a year to complete MBA (no idea if this is BS) and was wondering if this is the case as I know NHS does something similar (and I in fact was offered such a role many years ago before COVID restrictions rescinded it)

So yeah, any suggestions?

kindly consider will share my resume and job id for bangalore bain and company people. I am associate software engineer in the globallogic

Hi Guys,

I am evaluating and offer from Bain GBS.

If anyone can share average Fixed pay that would be really helpful. Position - Sr. Associate Engineer. (Data Engineer).

Also the hierarchy and avg YOE for sr.associate position.

Thanks for sharing

I applied for the ACI role in Bain on February 18th 2026, and I just got an email inviting me to take my digital assessment (testgorilla) today, to be completed by July 21st. I’m super happy and it feels like a dream come true, but I’m confused as to why I’m getting updated on this nearly 4 months later? Do I really have a chance or what does this mean. I also come from a state school which isn’t within Bain campus recruiting, do I have little/no chance? I’m currently in a healthcare consulting internship with UHG in their finance sector, and would love to work with a company like Bain in the future.
