Bain lateral recruiting
Hey Guys,
I was hoping one of the monkeys here would have a sense of which of the US Bain offices is growing quickly and/or is stretched thin? I'm looking to lateral and that seems to be my best best. (Feel free to PM) Hoping I can then do some targeted networking.
I'm a pre-MBA consultant at a small boutique firm - unfortunately one of our major clients has started tightening up, and as a result my firm announced layoffs. I've been looking at corporate strategy roles in addition to a few consulting firms that I would take over that. I've managed to land interviews at BCG and a few elite boutiques - networked with a bunch of alums and had them push for me. However I haven't had much luck with Bain, hence the positing.
Appreciate any help here.
Thanks,
Interesting, this was my experience as well. I had a killer referral (Partner) at BCG and a very soft one (brand new BA) at McK that scored me phone screens and interviews a few years back when I was trying to go the lateral route. Two solid referrals at Bain (AC2s) yielded bupkis.
Keep trying, but focus on the interviews you have. Since you're pre-MBA, you always have the option I ended taking: MBA->MBB.

I know Bain is trying to grow their DC office, so you might want to check that out. They've been transferring people in from other offices, so a lateral might be what they're after at this point.
Interesting - I'll try pushing for DC in that case and focus on the interviews I have so far.
Thanks
Have no insight as to which offices are growing fast, but I will say that this is probably an iffy time of year to try to lateral in. Firms' HR staffs are gonna be focused on campus recruiting, and this is the time of year when all the campus hires start. You'll probably have better luck in a couple months after things die down a bit more.
