After Bain

Make no mistake: We want everyone who joins Bain to enjoy a long and rewarding career here. In fact, as Consulting Magazine notes, our "voluntary turnover rates are well below industry averages."

Learning Experience: See how consultants develop transferrable skills that equip them to excel during their time at Bain and long after.

But should you decide to leave the firm, you'll become part of the powerful Bain alumni network. More than 7,000 people strong, it includes countless professionals who are doing great things in organizations around the world.

An extended family

Former Bainies remain members of our extended family throughout their careers. After all, they're applying the Bain way of doing things to organizations across industries worldwide.

Our alums are an influential international network, both professionally and personally. They start businesses together, hire each other and share news of job and business opportunities. It's only logical. They know the quality of the people that work at Bain. And Bain fosters lifelong friendships.

What opportunities await you?

Working at Bain gives you a general manager skillset that's unique and transferable. You gain the experience to run organizations of any size and thrive in any industry.

Here are some examples of industries where our alumni have put their general manager's toolkit to work:

A Bain Alum's Story: Learn how London alumni and entrepreneur Jon Wright used his acquired skill set from Bain to launch his own fruit smoothie business.

  • Global 1000: Our collaborative relationships with many of the world's top 1,000 companies have led many of our people to join these leading institutional roles—years before they could have without their Bain experience.
  • Startups: Our people get an inside view of the day-to-day realities of running a business. The experience often inspires our alumni to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities.
  • Private equity: As the market leader in private equity consulting, it's no surprise that many of our alumni have found success in the private equity field.
  • Nonprofits: Our pro bono and volunteer work, along with our relationship with The Bridgespan Group, allows our people to make an impact in the community while at Bain. Many continue to do so on a full-time basis after leaving the firm.

And don't forget: Sometimes your career path comes full circle. We have many alumni who leave for new experiences outside of Bain, only to return with new
perspectives that help our clients and our firm to
achieve results.
