Bain Capital Case Interview

Hello,

I have a Bain Capital interview coming up in a few days and I was wondering if anyone had examples of what their cases were like. I read through this previous thread which was very helpful (https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/bain-capit…) but the advice is also dated ~4 years so I figured I would ask.

I was told I would have 2 cases, 30 minutes each, and that interviewers will be trying to get a sense of analytics, business judgment, strategic thinking, etc. in an effort to try to understand how you would look at a particular deal/investment.

Thank you very much to anyone who may have insight!

I assume this is on campus recruiting for the post undergrad analyst role, right?

I don't have an answer to your question, but would definitely be up for preparing together via Skype or something if you're interested. I'm a current MBB analyst and planning to do PE associate recruiting with Bain Capital in the next few months so looking for case prep partners.
