A week in the life
Bain consultants take on many roles: problem solver, trusted advisor, consensus builder, mentor and coach, results partner. The experiences and challenges they face are exciting, tough, and important. They are constantly stretched, challenged, and asked to move beyond their comfort zone. No two days are ever the same. To get a sense of the variety of assignments they encounter, we asked several consultants to describe a recent week on the job.
