Summer Internship

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 eight to nine exciting and intensive weeks (duration may differ by office) - starting with 4 half days of global or regional training 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.
Client confidentiality means we cannot tempt you with our clients’ names, but whether you’re interested in technology, private equity, retail, finance, transportation, healthcare, energy or non-profits, the chances are good that you already know the clients we work with - they are well-known leaders in their respective industries.
Most SAs are amazed at the wealth of industry knowledge, client management and communication skills they acquire, and all complete their summer with a full-time offer to join Bain as a Consultant upon completion of their studies.
