Insight/Advantage/ bridge

Question

Hi to all!

Can you apply for MBB programs for advanced degree holders (Insight, Bridge to BCG & Bain Advantage) if you have already graduated 6 months ago? or only currently enrolled students are allowed?
I know the website mentions that post docs can apply. Does this mean if you do not work as postdoctoral researcher you cannot apply? I work as a researcher in industry but not a post doc position.

thank you!

Answer 1

Hi there,

The short answer is I think you should be able to apply shortly out of school for some of them…but it depends on the program

Ultimately, you need to talk to the recruiter of the office in which you're interested! This is so dependent on region, program, timing, etc. The worst case scenario is this is a great “excuse” to chat with them and get a foot in the door.

I believe this could be possible in some cases, but as mentioned by Ian I would check with HR / your internal contact as it might depend on the country. If it is not possible, they will probably tell you the alternative path to follow.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Hi there,

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

It is not entirely clear from the information provided if these programs are only open to currently enrolled students or if they are also open to recent graduates. The best way to find out for sure would be to reach out to the recruiters directly and ask them. They will be able to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information.
Moreover, even if you are not able to apply to these specific programs, reaching out to the recruiters can still be beneficial. By doing so, you have already got in touch with the recruiters who will scan your application files at a later stage.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hi there,

It's best to discuss this with your local recruiting team and/or contacts in the different firms as there are local differences.

All the best!
