Experienced consultant in Tier 2 firm. Happy to help with cases from time to time, drop me a msg.

Hi everyone, just got an invite to Bain's one-way video interview and there doesn't seem to be much prior discussion / content on this - would anyone care to share their experience on this part of the process please?

Would be great to understand the focus of questions and hear any afterthoughts you have about the process.

I want to be notified about updates regarding this question via email

Thanks Bruno, it seems the previous post was addressing video conference interviews. However, I was hoping for info around Bain's video interview which is used in the pre / first screening round before in-person case studies.

Still hoping for insights!
