Hey guys,
I currently study in Kenya and I am planning to apply to Bain (Stockholm) in the fall. I have reached out to the recruiter and she assured me that my application will be holistically reviewed - I have good grades but I was worried that being from a country Bain is not present in would be somewhat of an issue.
I'd like to ask: How competitive is the Stockholm office? What are they known for? And how should I prepare to make that I at least have a fighting chance through the interview process?
Hey Francesco, Thank you so much for your answer. I have had previous experience with management consulting - case competitions, fellowship programs - all with BCG though. I have also done a couple of virtual learning experiences in management consulting - all BCG-sponsored courses as well. Does this still make getting a referral absolutely necessary? How much weight would such expereinces hold?
Hi there, A referral always helps therefore yes, I would recommend you to get one if possible. It is extremely important if you don’t have a connection with the country and/or a working visa there. Best, Francesco
