IB to Consulting: Looking for interview tips

Have an interview coming up with Bain. Only experience I have is a IB SA gig in a Tech group NYC.
I’m hoping someone can orient me on how the Consulting recruiting process works and how I should prepare for the interviews

 

Do as many live case interviews as you can with former interns, current consultants, and other people going through the recruiting process. Personally, I did 40 cases over 5-6 months and landed offers from BCG and Bain and interviews with McKinsey, Deloitte, KPMG, and Simon-Kucher. Think about your answers to "Why do you want to do consulting" and "Why are you interested in Bain", and your answers could point at specifically a justification for why you are switching from IB to consulting.

There is a lot of information out there about the case interview process. Search Glassdoor interviews, WSO posts, Reddit posts, etc.
