About the job:

Imagine a role that tests and develops your ability to solve fascinating problems every day. You work with the leaders of the world’s most innovative companies with supportive and bright colleagues. If this sounds like a career you’d love, apply to be a Bain consultant.

As a Bain consultant, your analytical, interpersonal, creative thinking, business management and leadership skills will be called upon from day one. You will be in the thick of the action as you work side by side with some of the best in the business, and you will help create change.
