Summer Associate

BAIN SUMMER ASSOCIATE (INTERNSHIP)

An overview Bain's Summer Associate (SA) program is more than just a summer internship, it’s a springboard to your whole career and could quite possibly be the best summer of your life. It’s an ideal opportunity for MBAs or advanced degree candidates [e.g., JD/MBA, MD/MBA] who would like to experience the real world of consulting while getting insight into what a future with Bain would be like.

In 10 exciting and intensive weeks (duration may differ by office) - starting with an amazing week spent with international colleagues on Cape Cod learning the core Bain consulting skills - you’ll be in the thick of it: shoulder to shoulder with Bain consultants, tackling complex business challenges and using all your skills to help drive change in a range of organisations from global leaders to start-ups. Most SAs are amazed at the wealth of industry knowledge, client management and communication skills they acquire, and the majority complete their summer with a full-time offer to join Bain as a Consultant upon completion of their studies.

And, after multiple years of 15% growth, we are currently hiring for our largest intake ever.
