Transition from Bain Consulting to Bain Capital?
If you want to make the transition from Bain consulting to Bain Capital, you’ll likely need to be at the top of your class – in terms of education and experience. A few WSO users share their insights:
From Certified Venture Capital Professional – Partner @mmonkey"
Lot of people from Bain at Bain Cap on the DEAL side, similarly lots of people from McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BCG (you get the picture). The people are usually top of their class and have some sort of M&A or due diligence experience (experience is less important than being top of your class)
From WSO user @hangingvalley
A lot of former consulting folk in the portfolio group of Bain Capital--lots from BCG as well as Bain Consulting. There they work w/ a couple companies post close / operationally. Also, folks in this group take interim or perm positions at portfolio companies. More about operating a business than transactions. To see what the transitions are like from consulting to PE investing there you should look at the bios, they have an extensive section on the website.
