S23E8: Bain First Round Case: Luxury Helicopter Manufacturer Profitability Decline
Season 23
Episode 8
Published 2 months ago
Description
Sebastian is a Purdue junior with Bain interviews coming up. He ran a full first-round Bain case live – and after every section, coach Mitali stopped and told him exactly what worked and what he missed.
Mitali spent 5 years in consulting, including as a senior consultant at Bain in London. She's coached 350+ people into MBB and used to interview candidates herself – so she knows what Bain is looking for.
You'll see:
- Why "financial vs. non-financial" is too generic for Bain – and what to say instead
- How to read an exhibit the way Bain wants it done
- The math mistake Sebastian made live – and how he recovered
- How to give a final recommendation backed by the numbers, not your gut
