Practise Bain case interview questions.

What the Bain loop actually looks like.
Bain interviews are warm and conversational, but the bar is just as high as McKinsey or BCG. Cases are usually candidate-led; many start with a quick estimation warm-up before the main case. Bain particularly values the ability to answer concisely and synthesise.
