327: Bain's Obsession with Fit and Personality

In this 327th and new episode of the Case Interview & Management Consulting complimentary podcast, audio version, we discuss Bain's obsession with fit and personality during case interviews.

Bain does worry about fit and personality. Enormously. Every client we have ever had, on the eve of their Bain interview, we always tell them, "Hey, you have got to understand that Bain worries about fit and personality." And every client, by and large, says, "Yeah, I understand this. Lets move on to cases."

You have to understand how important this is because a disproportionate number of clients are rejected at Bain due to fit issues.

If Bain is assessing fit at all times, what is a good way to demonstrate fit? This is a question addressed in this podcast.
