Do partners do brain teasers for final round at Bain? (London office)

I wonder if bain partners have any preference for the final round?

The London office is doing 2 cases + 1 behaviour. I am aware that bain loves charts and maths (which is what happened to me in the first round) . I wonder for the final round is there any pattern to follow?

Thank you!

Not that I recall, nor that I heard from my cohort.

Now of course, this can vary if you happen to have a partner who happens to like brain teasers. But as a general rule? Not really. Do be aware that the partner case will likely be a case they work(ed) on and so pay extra attention to everything they say and follow the cues they'll drop throughout.

Also do make sure to sense check your maths (I forgot frequency of purchase in my market sizing portion of the case, but did catch it quickly and corrected it). Pro tip, a $4M market in a large country is probably not the right size :D
