Why Consulting?

The opportunity to make a larger impact by working on the most important problems that companies face. Add to this the chance to do intellectually stimulating and challenging work every day. Further, the sheer variety of problems, industries, people and geographies is extremely engaging. And, finally, it's also financially rewarding among other things.

Why Bain?

A perfect combination of an elite brand, people-friendly meritocratic culture, great quality of work, and a set of really nice colleagues

A memorable experience at Bain

A recent Private Equity diligence where our work was highly appreciated by our clients and we received very high degree of praise completely unsolicited from the clients.

Interests outside work.

Reading, writing, travel, movies, cooking. Besides this, a lot of time is really taken up with family, friends and community work.

Advice for prospective applicants:

Three areas are most important for a consultant:
1. High degree of intelligence, analytical skills and logic
2. Ability to communicate in an articulate fashion - after all, we are in the business of selling advice
3. Being a nice and interesting person - who finds it easy to build a rapport with internal teams and clients

During the interview process, it is important to demonstrate that you are someone who either already has these qualities or has the potential to develop them.
