      Made it to final round and then got ghosted... found an email two weeks later of a rejection but didnt recieve any feedback which is surprising considering this firm apparently values feedback greatly.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Bain & Company (Zürich)

      Interview

      Really smooth and clear. Was supported at every stage and felt like I could clearly demonstrate my skills. Found the casing harder than expected but behaviorals were genuinely interesting to answer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Imagine you are working on an M&A case and you meet a friend for dinner who works for that company and has just been fired. He reports huge issues that are non-public material information. What would you do?
