S21E20: Bain Manager’s 2-Month Guide to MBB Prep (and What Candidates Miss)
Season 21
Episode 20
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
What does it really take to break into MBB — especially if you’re starting late?
In this conversation, ex-Bain manager and case coach Abi Chen breaks down the exact 2-month strategy that helped her go from “I just learned what consulting is” to landing a Bain offer.
She shares the principles that top candidates consistently get right — and the myths that hold everyone else back.
You’ll learn:
- How to diagnose your readiness (and what most candidates overlook)
- Why drills matter more than full cases
- How top performers think like consultants from day one
- The feedback mindset that accelerates growth in recruiting and on the job
If you need a clear, realistic roadmap to MBB — or inspiration for charting your own path — you’ll find it here.
