Bain Office Transfers

Hi everyone. I'm an incoming AC at Bain in a US office and was wondering what the office transfer process looks like. Is there a networking element involved? If so, how should I go about that if I am interested?

Hey there,

This is something to discuss with your office's staffing & mentor once you're there. However, do know that at the moment, outside of personal needs transfers, no transfer is occurring. Additionally, you need to have been at Bain a certain amount of time (usually >1 year) + have good enough ratings to qualify.

All of this will be answered once you start, not much point looking before actually starting.

EDIT: if you do want to ask those questions to your peers though, once you have your Bain email, I'd suggest going to Fishbowl. There is a dedicated Bain bowl (=forum) with current people who often can answer specific questions anonymously. Although, again note that usually your own office should be your first port of call.
