Bain fosters rapid learning and personal growth.

• Why Bain?

  Bain provides a unique opportunity to work on challenging, interesting cases and help solve problems that keep CEOs awake at night. Bain fosters rapid learning and personal growth. Most importantly, I get to work with world class individuals who never cease to impress me at work, and who always ensure you have a great time along the way.

• My passion

  I love to try different things. Bain is a fast-paced environment where everyone gets involved. Whether it's playing soccer or ultimate, volunteering with non-profits, organizing a ski trip, or just grabbing a drink after work, there are always people willing to tag along. This constant stream of activities ensures there's always something different for me to try.
  

• My favorite case

  My favourite case was working with a consumer packaged goods company to redesign their route to market. They were considering a drastic change to their business and turned to Bain to tell them whether it was a good idea and if so, how to approach it. I had the opportunity to work very closely with another AC as we tackled a massive modeling exercise. As the case progressed, we were repeatedly challenged with increased responsibilities and ended up providing the key numbers supporting the client's eventual decisions. Along the way I got fantastic advice and encouragement from the CTL, manager and partner on the case. And of course had lot of fun.

• My personal results story

  Coming from an engineering background I was nervous about how prepared I would be for Bain. But after a month of Associate Consultant Training (ACT) and pre-ACT, I was ready to tackle my first case. A year into the job, not only was I confident in my ability to contribute, but I was amazed by how much I had learned over the past 12 months.
  

• A final thought

  There is no question that Bain provides tough challenges, exciting opportunities and a chance to work with great people. If you're trying to decide between firms, pick the one where you connect best with the people - at the end of the day, they're the ones who are going to make or break your experience.
