For Bain, I confirm it is also the case.
Mentorship is important part of career development and you should try to get one, especially if you are new to consulting.

Nobody has responded to this question yet.
Depending on the following factors it might change:
- Office you are applying
- Your background
- Mentor availability of the office
Although it is a well-known practice, in my experience, many of the candidates do not have mentors.

Depending on your profile & when you apply (from school, as an experienced hire...) it may be more or less common: they can't just provide a mentor to absolutely every candidate.
If you are lucky to being assigned one, make sure to leverage that relationship to get insights into the office, the process... perhaps even try to get a mock case out of it. Good luck!
Hi,
McKinsey was the first company that started doing that. I guess BCG is just following. So yep, it’s common

Yes, Bain, BCG and McKinsey do the same.
