Bain cases

Hi,

The Mecko chart is a typical chart which is more common at Bain vs. BCG and Mckinsey. 

As former consultant at Bain, I have real interview cases available. 

We can practice those during a coaching session.

It's a common misunderstanding that there are firm specific 'types' of cases.. all firms look for the same common abilities and traits. While there may be some nuances in format, it really should not matter to you as a candidate. 

I would suggest to not focus on the firm, but rather having good fundamentals in problem solving. 

Hey!

Bain cases are quite similar to McKinsey and BCG cases, and they tend to include chart-heavy data interpretation and often incorporate market sizing. Make sure you're comfortable analyzing various chart types (bar charts, scatter plots, trend lines, etc.) and extracting key insights quickly. If you're looking for practice cases, consulting club books, or PrepLounge cases, they cover Bain-style cases well. Also, Bain often looks for structured but conversational problem-solving, so practicing with real Bain-style interviewer-led cases will help! 🚀
