Your summer work experience can be a stepping-stone to a long-term career. Bain internships provide you with the opportunity to experience the world of consulting and a valuable insight into a future with Bain.

Bain's ACI and SA internships are recognized by Vault as one of the top 10 best all-around experiences. Mentorship availability, career advancement opportunities, capacity for learning, compensation, industry clout and work culture were all considered when selecting the best internships.

Undergraduate

The Associate Consultant Intern (ACI) program is ideal for top-performing undergraduate students typically between their third and fourth year of college/university, or Masters Degree candidates who are considering a management consulting career after graduation. As an ACI, you receive formal training that develops your skill set and immerses you in a client-like setting. All ACIs are immediately assigned to cases and, like Associate Consultants (ACs), focus on collecting data, executing the analyses and presenting the insights. In this role, you are exposed to a variety of business issues and quickly learn the fundamentals of Bain's core tools.

While we welcome applications from students studying any degree, you must have a strong academic background and analytical skills, be highly motivated, and exhibit outstanding interpersonal skills.

MBA

The Summer Associate (SA) program is an ideal opportunity if you are interested in pursuing a consulting career after graduation. As an SA, you will join a case team and replicate the responsibilities of a full-time Consultant. You 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 they acquire in only a few months, and the majority decide to join Bain full-time upon the completion of their studies. To facilitate professional networking opportunities, SAs also participate in a formal global training program.

Business school students are asked to apply between their first and second years if pursuing a two year MBA. Candidates in a one year program should check with the local office or on campus career services for timing on submitting an application.

Other Advanced Degrees

All offices holding summer programs welcome applications from MBAs and joint advanced degree candidates pursuing an MBA (e.g., JD/MBA, MD/MBA). Single advanced degree candidates (JD, MD, PhD) are encouraged to check the office page(s) for the office(s) of interest to determine if the office offers summer positions for single advanced degree candidates.
