I just got rejected from the final round interview as an experienced hire AC at Bain London. I can’t yet reapply to the other two MBBs. What should I do?

For more info on me, I’m a qualified accountant at a Big 4 firm in their Strategy practice, focusing on M&A (non-CDD) work.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the rejection. Regarding your question:

Q: I can’t yet reapply to the other two MBBs. What should I do?

I assume you are still interested in a career in consulting. If that’s possible/interesting to you, I would recommend applying to Tier 2 companies (eg Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger, Kearney, Strategy&), work there for 1-2 years, then apply again to MBB.

Good luck!

Hi there,


Sorry to hear that. I would definitely recommend applying to a T2 firm. 

I have had a great time at OW and worked on many similar types of projects as my friends at MBB firms. Feel free to message me if you’d like to have a free intro chat to strategize next steps.
