Bain Final Round Interview

Hi,

The interview process, in general, is exactly the same however the pressure will be much higher:

• Fit: Story about you, Why consulting, Why Bain, Your questions.  However, partners may ask some additional tricky and unusual questions. Be ready to explain and defend your career choices and motivation to work for a particular company. More recommendations on how to answer you can find here: https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/why-consulting-why-mckinseybcgbain-questions-770#a1762
• Case: Interviewee-led, most of the cases have the final answer (are no open-ended). The major difference - the partners at Bain will not forgive you the mistakes and in general the cases and the pressure will be much bigger. Thus - make sure that you are very good with cases.

Best

Hello!

Congrats for moving to final round!

As it has been outlined, its very similar, but :

• Cases you can expect are more "free riding" - less organized than the ones your found in the 1st round or most prep pages
• Stronger emphasis in the FIT part, as outlined before by other coaches.

If you are interested in deepening your knowledge and preparation on the FIT part, the "Integrated FIT guide for MBB" has been recently published in PrepLounge´s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/integrated-fit-guide-for-mbb-34)

It provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, tackling each firms particularities and combining key concepts review and a hands-on methodology. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.

Furthermore, you can find 3 free cases in the PrepL case regarding FIT preparation:
