Hi there,

1) Talk to your career department - they can advise when the recruiting cycles occur and what you need to do!

2) Network now - reach out and make some connections that will pay dividends later

3) Keep a very strong GPA

4) Get other internships and work experience

Hi there,

Bain has analyst-level interns (with a bachelor's degree, or even in their penultimate university year) and associate-level interns (MBA degree) - two different roles for two different backgrounds.

I hope this helps

Hello,

It depends on the country but Bachelor degree is usually enough to get an offer as internship. Bear in mind that in some countries (e.g. Italy) you must have a Master in order to be hired as full-time.

In terms of strategy, the best way is to join selective events reserved for universities (e.g. Bain business course) where you can develop your network among Bain HR staff and consultants.

Hello!

It´s good that you are a long-time thinker!

Yes, indeed, I personally know a lot of people who were summer business analyst in their last year of uni -undergrad, not masters-.

For sure there is also a progarm for summer MBAs, but that is a different story.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi there,

well done for starting to plan so early your career path.

MBB hire both new bachelor/master graduates and MBAs. The position is different:

• Analyst (McK)/Associate (BCG/Bain) for new BSc and MSc graduate
• Associate (McK)/Consultants (BCG/Bain) for new MBAs

As mentioned by Luca, in some countries you need a Master to apply.

The best way to get an internship is via referral. You can find more on that at the link below:

Besides that, the following helps:

• Target school
• Great GPA
• Relevant internships
• Experience abroad
• Volunteer and leadership experiences

Hope this helps,

Francesco

Dear A,

Hi there,

Try to get as high GPA as possible, get some work experience or internship and try to get a referral. It will increase your chances a lot!

Do you need any further help?

All the best,
