By typical cases, I refer to specific types of cases such as PE, Profitability, Market entry or finance related etc.
PS: I am interviewing in Europe.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi,
Here is some information according to 100+ Bain cases my candidates had on the interviews. However it may be not representative geographically, but according to my experience:
Most common types of case:
- Private equity (due diligence)
- Synergies
- Profitability + market sizing as a part of a case
- Market Entry
Most common industries:
- Retail
- CPG
- Airlines
- HORECA - hotels, restaurants, coffeeshops, etc
- Diamonds (Might be specific to the particular office)
- Agriculture (No specifics, closer to CPG)

Hey anonymous,
Similarly to most of the consulting firm, the most used type of cases are profitability (or a bifrucation from it) and market/product entry. On top of those, Bain interviewers (across Europe) really love to do PE cases (much more than McK or BCG).

Hi Anonymous,
the answer depends a lot by the country. In Italy for example there are two recurring types of question very common:
- Valuation question, also for unusual topics (eg should a zoo buy a Panda? If so for which price?
- Market sizing, in particular for partner rounds. Not necessarily as part of a case, also given as per se cases
I would recommend to check Glassdoor for you geography for some specific examples.
Best,
Francesco
