Hi, does anyone has any idea what are the types of projects that Bain SEA does? Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of contacts in Bain to find out more from. Thanks!

  • If you are looking for sector focus - then simply figure out the active sectors in the region from the news and/or Bain SEA's website/whitepapers. Typical sectors could be manufacturing, energy, petrochem, etc.
  • Having said that, if you approach/network current Bain SEA consultants with this question, you might still hear back from them.
  • Once your process starts at Bain SEA, you can also leverage the HR and ask them this question or connect you with someone in the office who can answer this question.
  • HAVING SAID THAT
  • I would recommend to not prepare in a sector-specialised manner. Prepare well for ‘any' case.

All MBB firms in SE Asia will work on industries that are predominant there. Energy, Financial Services, Travel and Chemicals etc. are some of the larger industries in the region. 

MBB at the end of the day is only affordable to the top companies given the high price tag they charge. So look at the top companies in a country to see who potential clients might be.

Best,

Hi Qi,

The country is just as important as the region (Singapore is going to have different projects than Vietnam, for example).

In general, SE Asia has a good amount of banking, government, energy (incl. Oil & Gas) and other resources (mining). Again, it does depend on the country as well!

Best way to find out for your specific country + company is to check their website!

Hi!

In SEA, Bain works with a lot of clients from a variety of industries.

I'd say the majority of projects are conducted in Industrials, Financial Services, and Chemicals among others.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Anto
