Joining Bain
"After I graduated in October and received my Bain offer in November, I used the last months of the year to find a place and move to Amsterdam. In January 2006 I started at Bain Amsterdam. For the last two years I worked at Bain Amsterdam and now have the opportunity to go on transfer for six months to one of the other Bain offices around the world, start thinking about an MBA or use one of the other opportunities Bain is offering to broaden my work experience."

Case experience
"Since starting at Bain I have experienced many industries including: telecom, automotive, consumer health and wellness, computer technology and pharmaceuticals."

Flexible and enriching environment
"Working in my first year at Bain, for one of the largest consumer goods companies in the world, at a billion dollar deal was a tremendous experience. For me it was fantastic to work in a team which consisted of people from the Amsterdam office and from the New York office. Being able, with this team, to understand a market, I had not event thought of before, showed me again how much you can accomplish with the combined knowledge and experience available at Bain."

Outside the office
"I spend a lot of my spare time on sports and visiting friends. Most of all I like to travel and visit people I met abroad or meet new and interesting people. Recently, I have traveled a lot in Eastern Europe, which is a very interesting and dynamic part of the world with a lot of hidden and interesting places."
