Hi Anonymous!

After the CV screening phase, SEA has recently started using a Hypothesis Planning Case. For that, you will get sent a case introduction. Then you have 30 minutes to develop a framework of detailed hypotheses, inlcuding data sources and analyses to test each of them. After the 30 minutes, you will have a call with an interviewer that you need to guide through your solution and who will ask detailed questions on your thinking behind the hypotheses. 

If this will be applied to you, they will send you a detailed guidance including an example case with answers so you can prepare in detail.

I've helped candidates prepare for this in the past and I'll be happy to work with you as well, if it comes to that.

Hi there,

The first step for Bain after the CV screening depends on the country. In SEA you usually have:

  1. A multiple-choice test, similar to the McKinsey PST/BCG Potential Test. There are 25 questions in 50 minutes, divided in 3 cases
  2. A one-way video interview with 3 questions

After that, you go through traditional case interviews.

In case you need help with the preparation please feel free to PM me, I helped several people for Bain SEA.

Best,

Francesco
