Spent most of the time going through cases. The first round was two 30 minute interviews. Probably spent about 25 minutes on the case and then 5 minutes getting to know my interviewers / walking through my resume at the end. Final round was 4 interviews - 3 cases with 3 different partners, then 30 mins of behavioral questions. Final round was conducted at the Bain office.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to think of a business and determine its burn rate, top line, and bottom line, similar to a pitch on Shark Tank. The interview also included some situational questions.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Beirut) in May 2024
Interview
The interview process was very smooth, they were very nice and professional but I guess the slowdown in consulting in the region is the cause why they only handed out a few offers.
