Bain Dubai Round 2 Interviews

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on passing the first interview round at Bain!

This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I am happy to provide my perspective on it:

• Generally speaking, the difficulty level in the final interview round will be about the same as in the first interview round. As such, I would advise you to continue preparing as you did before to at least keep your current level of readiness.
• Still, it might very well happen that the case interviews with Bain partners will be slightly less structured and come off more like a real discussion instead of a case study. I would advise you to embrace the slightly different interviewing style and you should be fine.
• Regarding the questions to ask Bain partners, they are as much an “employee” as all other interviewers before are, yet more experienced. As such, asking them about their perspective on (aspects of) the future development of the company aso. might be beneficial.

In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare your final interview round at Bain, please feel free to contact me directly.

I hope this helps,

Hagen

Hi there,

It shouldn't differ much as these interviews, more or less,  will require the same areas of readiness/skills. 

Make sure you're strong on the case, fit, behavioral, etc. and ready for any scenario that could occur!

Make sure to work on any weaknesses that you displayed in the first round as they will be paying particular attention to these!

Not really. It's still case interview, so you should now the drill by now.

Of course, focus on your weaknesses and on the feedback you received.

Regarding questions for partners… well, what do you really want to know in order to decide on whether that is the right move / role / company for you?

I always like to ask about the kind of traits that make people successful in the company, or one thing that wouldn't be so obvious about the company or specific office, or even their view on what really sets that company apart from the other MBB.

Hey Anon - can you please tell me when you had your first round at Bain Dubai and how long did they take to get back to you for your second round? I had my first interview 10 days ago and still haven't heard back from them. I also emailed HR but got no response.
