Does anyone know which month Bain generally starts its Associate Consultants in the London Office?

Thanks!

Historically there have been two official start dates, one in September and the other in Feb/March. For example, a recent offeree I coached is joining them in March 2021.

Usually, you start in March or in September. Sometimes you can postpone your start if you have a reason :)

Hi there,

Just to add to the other comments, feel free to have an open dialogue with HR if those dates don't work for you. They may be able to accomodate. That said, if they can't, and you pick the later date, make sure you've got plenty of productive things to do in that gap period :)
