- Bain office(s) of interest
In the application, you will have the ability to select up to three Bain offices that interest you the most. You will then need to allocate 100 percentage points across these office(s) to reflect your interest-level in each office. The offices that you select in your application will become the office(s) that consider you for their ADvantage program.
When indicating office preferences in your application, please keep in mind that successful interns (i.e. successful on their case teams and in their final-round interviews) will receive a full-time consultant offer from the office where they completed the internship. For this reason, we ask that you apply only to office(s) where you would happily accept a full-time offer.
