Why does Bain lag behind/not emphasize APD recruiting?
I have always wondered this. Why does Bain seem to be so far behind in recruiting advanced degree candidates compared to McKinsey and BCG? The perception, at least at my school, has become that Bain just really doesn't want to take the risk of hiring them. But that would mean that (in my opinion),...
