Hi, I'm Alex. I spent the last >5 years at Bain & Company, starting as an Associate Consultant and working my way up to Junior Manager, mostly on strategy, M&A and value-creation projects across DACH, the UAE, Eastern Europe and India.
I wasn't only being interviewed - I was part of Bain's DACH recruiting team. I interviewed candidates for internship / junior roles, ran official prep sessions for people about to go through the process, and hosted recruiting / university events and webinars. So I've seen the CVs who got through the screening, led the interviews, and actively voted in the room where the yes/no decision actually gets made.
I also know what it's like to break in without the standard profile - I studied anthropology and sociology, not business, and still got the offer. If your background feels "non-traditional," we'll make that your edge instead of your excuse.
I recently left Bain, which means what I tell you reflects how things work right now - not how they worked five years ago. I offer a free intro call, so grab one and let's work out exactly what you need.
