I interviewed at Bain & Company (San Francisco, CA)

Pretty standard profitability and market entry cases, NO BEHAVIORAL they fully removed that recently from the first round. Best way to prep is to do as many cases as possible, my regret is not doing more.

Question 1
Given x y z data points (sales, volume, costs) calculate the profitability of entering this market
There was a resume and online assessment. I was then invited to Round One which consisted of two cases. Round Two followed about a week later and also had 2 cases. Round One and Round Two were both virtual rounds.
2 rounds of interviews primarily focused on case, with some behavioral questions second round. Each interview consists of two interviewers who will interview separately with different cases. Interviews last 30-45 minutes.
