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!

“Matt was so helpful at giving me specific advice. I also really appreciated that he did research in advance to help me. I feel a lot more confident for my interview and I also walked away with good prep advice and materials. I would one hundred percent meet with him again. I felt like he actually wanted to help me and see me suceed. I have an interview in two days and was definitley axious about it before meeting with him. I feel a lot calmer and confident in my skillset and aware of areas I should work on before the interview. ”

Management Consulting Mock Coffee Chat

“He was very friendly and helpful throughout the session. He provided a lot of practical advice on how to approach coffee chats with consultants. We also did a quick mock coffee chat, during which he gave me detailed and constructive feedback on the types of questions I could ask, how to follow up on responses, and how to explore topics in greater depth. I found the session really insightful and feel much more confident about approaching future coffee chats.”

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
