Bain — Any news yet?

I applied and am waiting on a response from Bain recruiting. Has anyone heard back yet regarding interviews for full-time? If so, when did you hear, what offices, and when is the super-day?

I go to a non-target, and am very interested in Bain's strength within the technology sector. I previously did an internship with McKinsey, but I think the culture and lifestyle of Bain are a better fit for me. I am really crossing my fingers on this one!

thelastmileApplied late September. No news yet.

This made me laugh. Good job

This to all my hatin' folks seeing me getting guac right now..
 

Undergrad here.

I recently got an a 1st round interview invite from BCG and Mckinsey, to be held next week. Some of you guys are mentioning that most of these firms are wrapping up recruiting; does that mean I was a wait-list invite or not a top candidate for these firms (because I heard back so late)?

 

Good news!! I just got an e-mail from a Bain manager saying I will get an interview in Boston. I am super excited! Best of luck to the rest of you.

Would any of you (with interviews or not) be interested in practicing case interviews?? I am at a non-target in Boston with a non-Business major. If you are interested, please send me a message or post here. We can do this over Skype or in person if you are near Boston.

It was for Chicago. But from anecdotal experience, I know that 99% of the people who have received offers heard back the night of the final round interview (unless they are doing two rounds of interview in one week and choosing from both pools).

I've gone through both internship (unsuccessfully) and full-time, and I wouldn't necessarily say the cases were harder. But the partners are much more likely to push the case into a discussion beyond anything that's formal part of the case to test your general business acumen. Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions...

 

How long did the Southern Bain offices take to extend offers? Did any offers go out on the same night? I had to push my second round interview to last Thursday (11/8)...so trying to figure out whether not hearing anything by now is good/bad.
