I had a few questions regarding the structure of the first interview round in the DE/AT region at BAIN.
As far as I understand, it consists of two case interviews followed by a personality/fit interview – is that correct?
Case interviews:
I was already in the final round at BCG a few month ago and wanted to ask how the cases differ between BCG and Bain. I’ve heard that they might be more exhibit-heavy – are there any other key differences?
Also, is there usually a short fit section at the beginning of the case interviews, or is the fit discussion reserved exclusively for the separate personality interview?
Personality interview:
What exactly should one expect from this interview? What kind of questions are typically asked? "Standard" fit questions like tell me about a time when, etc.
Finally, is there anything in particular you would recommend focusing on during the preparation?
Many thanks in advance for all the insights!
