743: Key differences in Bain FIT questions (Case Interview & Management Consulting classics)

Jan 6, 2025

For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we discuss key differences in Bain FIT questions.

 

In looking through our database of over 240 former clients and speaking to Bain partners we know, we see two unique ways a Bain fit interview differs from a McKinsey PEI. The first relates to way in which you interact with the interviewer as you deliver your response, and the second relates to a very specific attribute that Bain seeks in your fit responses. Both differ substantially from a McKinsey or BCG interview. In fact, EVERY single client we placed at Bain strongly displayed these two characteristics. It is uncanny how close a correlation exists.
