Joined an MBB ~3 months ago at a post-MBA level, but feel extremely behind (EM rewrites all my content, I’m nervously saying/typing small mistakes, etc.) and my EM is not support/very condescending to me Has anyone experienced something similar? Am I going to get PIP’d? Any advice on how to get better?

I've received an offer to join Bain's ACI class next summer, and with nothing to do for the next year, I'm looking for ways to best prepare for the internship and maximize my chances at a return offer. I know there's a week-long training at the start, but I feel like that won't cover everything I need to know, nor provide me enough time to practice the skills I learn over the week. For former interns or current full-time employees, how would you recommend I best use this time?

About to start Post-MBA at M in a US office this summer. Considering asking to defer start date for a mix of personal (relating to recent family events) and professional (I’d like to try finance — and see if I’d want to do this instead). How difficult to ask HR to defer to (1) this fall (2) next year (3) perhaps even the year after? Student debt has me asking. Thanks for all opinions!

How do you pick projects/decide what practices to focus on? I'm starting soon as a Consultant and I'm trying to figure out what to do. People have suggested finding a lane/niche early and staying there, is this the play? Not sure I want to stay at the firm long, but (a) I'd like to stay long enough that I don't have to be unemployed in a few years and (b) I'm concerned about not being able to get staffed. (C) how early should you start worrying about exits?

Hi everyone, Has anyone here successfully transitioned from industry into Bain as an experienced hire (vs traditional MBA recruiting)? I’m about 3 years post-MBA, currently in industry, recently applied for a Consultant role at Bain & Company and am about to take the online assessment. Curious how different the process is for experienced hires vs MBA recruiting, and realistically how common this transition is a few years post-MBA. Would appreciate any advice.
