Spend time familiarizing yourself with the career opportunities and progression they advertise on their website. "In principle, we have promotions several times a year. How long it actually takes for you to move to the next level depends on your performance. At each level, we offer specific training programs to help you prepare for the next higher level. If you consciously want to specialize in a certain area right from the start, this is possible with us, but will be decided on a case-by-case basis. If you already have significant professional experience, direct entry into a specific area is common, but not a must here either."

"If I succeed in meeting the goals in my five-year career plan, I'd like to make senior manager. I know with my current experience that may seem ambitious, but considering that Bain and Company advertise that they have a steep learning curve for those who are super driven, I believe that I can achieve the extraordinary."
