I've solved some cases - but only 2 mock interviews.
I'm not sure I'm confident enough to do an interview in English.

Hi everyone! I have an interview with Bain next week, but I'm not sure if I'm prepared enough. How long does it usually take someone to be fully prepared for an interview with BAIN? Also, is it in English or the office's native language?

Nobody has responded to this question yet.
The interview will likely be conducted in the local language, but you’d be able to do it in English as well as the minority of interviewers might not speak the office’s local language fluently (e.g., internal transfers).
The level of prep required to pass an interview differs significantly from candidate to candidate but your prep so far has been much less than that from candidates who end up receiving offers. Please feel free to reach out for a free chat to discuss what could still be the most impactful way in which you can improve your preparation in a short term.
Hi there,
definitely contact HR and ask about the language in which the interview will be conducted. This should not be a surprise and will be totally fine to ask HR.
I’d recommend you practice as many realistic mock interviews as possible in the language of your interview. This will make you much more confident during the actual interview and helps you focus on the content and interviewer.
Feel free to reach out to coaches from your target country / who offer the required language. I’d be happy to help you prep in German or English.
Kind regards
Kevin
