I applied and my email confirmation said that Bain “will contact you in approximately 60 days should it be appropriate to move forward in our hiring process.” Is this universal for everyone? I’m just curious because I thought the turnaround time is typically within 2 weeks for an update.
I got the same email.
Same here
Yeah, I have also heard it is 2 weeks. wonder why they said 60 days. unless they are pushing the entire process back.
is this also when R1 invites come out too?
.
I got the same email when I applied in January. Probably generic.
did anyone get the option to pick respective offices / allocate percentages towards them?
yes. i could pick up to 3
My guess is that the economy and demand for future projects is still too opaque. So they're slowing / delaying the process down so that they can make offers when they have more clarity. But I'm just guessing.
that is my thought as well
I'm a bit out of practice with consulting recruitment, so I'd like to ask: Does Bain consider 0-3 years for their AC cohort? I might apply for the sake of it.
Associate consultant for 2 years, senior associate consultant for 1 then mba or direct promo
Did anyone get an email inviting to a case prep workshop this afternoon that’s for mid July?
Ye doesn’t everyone get those?
I got that email as well. Does it mean anything?
Did anyone hear from Chicago or NYC?

A DC recruiter said if your first choice office says no, they transfer your application to your next choice office and if unsuccessful your third after which they send a rejection email.

Any word for SF ACI?
j got an invite

bump - do they send them separately from AC?
Do interviews come in waves or should you give up hope if you didn't receive one today? (rlly anxious so would appreciate any insight!!!)
bump anything for atl aci yet?? i've only seen ac atl
atl aci came out
For those of us who received an interview, is there no behavioral to the first round?
i think final round has behaviorals
for those who got an offer... were u from target // what were ur stats!! im curious and congrats
Thanks for the congrats, no offer yet but hopefully the interview turns into one! For stats: Non-target (borderline semi-target), 35 ACT, 3.72 GPA, strong extracurriculars, networked well.
Did you network with mainly associates or higher level bainies? I got a recommendation from a partner but didn't get an interview invite. Thanks!!
Thanks! target, 3.95, 36 act, prior exp in research, networked w school team AC/C level
I just heard back. Complete non target school like no name at all for NE Bain, 3.9 GPA, President of consulting club and President of student government. Had 2 consulting internships prior. Networked a lot and got a partner referral.
Great story- congratulations!!
target (but not hypsm), 3.9/1570, didn't network at all
target, 3.5 gpa, 1530, mediocre extracurriculars and networking, applying aci
did anyone receive atl aci invites yet??? i've only seen atl ac on this thread
If someone did not receive ACI interview invite, is there no other chances like getting one tmrw? (DC Office)
same - dc office hopeful, haven't heard anything
does anyone know when the first rounds will take place? and does anyone have any insights on the advantages of when to schedule them when we pick the timeslots tomorrow
don't think there would be any tangible adv for scheduling. just pick whatever works best w ur schedule and habits i'd say
Did anyone get ACI for Texas?
Will they send rejection emails? Or just ghost if we didn't get an interview
Are we sure that not getting an interview invite at this point means rejection?
I have heard rumors that there may be a second wave of interview invites today, but not 100%
when do emails come out today to pick a time slot to interview?
just came out. do u also not see any available times for jul 29 or aug 2?
yes, i only saw tuesday-thursday
I couldn't get to the link until 30 mins after it was sent out, and all that was left was 2 slots on Tuesday. Not sure if that's good or bad or how many slots there were initially but.
have any rejections came out yet?
doubt rejections will be out so soon. when i applied for aci i got my rejection august 8th
does anyone know whether there will be a second round of invites?
Yes they are doing lots of waves. Just heard back a few hours ago
Yes they are doing lots of waves. Just heard back a few hours ago
Which office?
How much have you all prepared for the case interviews....???
I've done ~50 over the two recruiting cycles. Ranging in quality.
ooo nice! so you are going for FT?
I applied close to the deadline to LA with on 7/7…earlier today I saw on my portal that my application was received 7/8. Now my application isn’t showing up at all. Does this mean a rejection?
how do you see when it was received
There are different portals on Bain. The management consulting portal doesn’t show you but if you click apply and login for some other random job and go to your profile, it’ll show you your applications and when it was received.
Do we know if interviews come out dependent on how earlier you applied e.g. if you applied right before the deadline you would get an interview in a later wave.
