SAs are given ownership of client issues and the responsibility and support to develop lasting client relationships. SAs are encouraged to develop their professional network and learn about Bain's strong office culture. To facilitate professional networking opportunities, SAs from all offices are introduced to Bain with a formal global training program.
SAs join case teams and replicate the responsibilities of a full-time consultant. They work directly with case teams and clients to solve business problems and drive change. Most SAs are amazed at the wealth of industry knowledge, client management and communication skills that they capture in only a few months, and the majority decide to join Bain full-time upon the completion of their MBA.
SAs are typically students between their first and second year of business school who are considering management consulting as a career. The recruiting process for the summer programme typically runs from November – early January, with a view to join the 10 week programme which begins mid June each year.
