Bain Final Round

Have a Bain final round interview for AC position in NY. Was wondering if anyone could let me know what to expect in terms of case types/behavioral questions? Any advice as well would be awesome.

I had ACI final round last week (and one of my interviewers was NY office). Apart from the case I had to give a standard elevator pitch about myself, give solid reasons for my office preference, and just ask good questions after the case is over.

 

I didn't make it past for final rounds for AC this year, but I was an accelerated interview so it was a fair bit more competitive. I would expect fairly simple cases similar to R1, but expect more pushback. Biggest feedback is to be conversational when there's pushback. If you're asked something off-the-cuff, don't take time at all but try to structure your ideas a little bit. Bain, for some reason, seems to really value you being quick. Your partner case should be a little less formal too
