Bain NYC Office
How well-regarded is the Bain NYC office? I know the Boston office is regarded the most prestigeous--but would NYC be considered a close second?

Career Resources
Actually, the NYC office might be > Boston office if you are interested in finance or PE work. Most of Bain's PE "ringfence" is staffed out of either NY or SF.
Other than that, it doesn't make sense to talk about which office is more "prestigious". Each office will tend to focus more heavily on a different set of industries dictated by its geography. NY has more financial services, LA has more entertainment, SF has more tech, Dallas/Atlanta more F500, etc.
You should worry more about what industries you would want to work with. If you want to make a career of consulting, then a bigger office may give you more opportunities to work your way up.
Essentially, larger offices have more churn which creates more upper level openings in total. Smaller offices won't have as much, but if an opening does occur then what you say would be true.
I am more concerned with interesting client work, B-School Applications, and branding for Banking/PE
B-schools won't give a shit about which office you worked in. Bain is Bain and you'd be competing against all the other consultants (even non-MBB) for admission. You are worried about the wrong things. Do you even have an interview with Bain?
I sent you a PM.
client work: yes it varies, but we travel 4 days a week anyways, i wouldn't say its that much different
bschool app: irrelevant, its how you write your experiences into essays that matter. many NY office mbb candidates do not get interviews from harvard, yet you see random asian mbb ppl at hbs
pe: usually it is easier to move to pe funds in the same city just because of interview logistics and familiarity, however getting a solid dd/strategy/ops experience is more valuable than the location
afterall...i like coming back to my home office/town on weekends and hang out with friends, last thing you would want is to be stuck at an office where you don't like the people and nor the city
@7S - You travel 4 days a week for Bain? That's not the typical AC experience...
Agree on 4 days a week travel not being typical for Bain. Usually (~80% of travel cases) it's Tue morning -Thu evening at the client site. Some cases can be 4 days if it is particularly client-heavy, like post-merger integration. I've never seen 5 days a week at Bain.
