Bain Final Round (In 3 days) vs First Round

Hi Monkeys,

Would anyone have a good view on what differentiates the Bain final round interview from the first rounds?

I know it’ll be partners interviewing me, but the structure of the interviews (45 minutes) remain the same - what are the differences in how it’s going to be conducted?

I got some feedback regarding my performance on the first round (framework on one of the cases was flimsy, had issues finding root cause of problem until nudged) - will they bring that up and focus on it?

I will be interviewing in a few days - some actionable recommendations would be greatly appreciated - thanks!
