Although Bain erased his profile online Soviet-style, the Internet record lives forever:

Manager, Tokyo
A fascinating first step into your career
Background
Graduated from the University of Tokyo with BA in Latin American cultural studies before joining Bain.
Reason for joining Bain
In my case, before deciding where to work, I had to make a major decision on whether to continue my education or enter the workforce. Many of the students in my department continue on to graduate school, and I felt considerable appeal in continuing my education.
The reason I started job hunting after struggling with this decision was due to the somewhat negative realization that it would be easier to return to a graduate school for the humanities after getting a job, than it would be to find a job after studying at such an institution. I was attracted by the detailed, enthusiastic company briefing prior to the written test and the interviewers' personality and their passion for their work. As I went through the interview process, I developed a strong desire to work for Bain.
Life at Bain
For the first several months after I joined Bain, I worked primarily on projects with private equity clients. The process of gathering information, organizing it logically, and gaining new insights is similar to the research I conducted at university, but I found motivation in the quite different need to provide information of an adequate quality sufficient to make investment decisions in a limited period. Also, performing global work such as collaborating with overseas offices to analyze data on many projects was a new experience.
Later, I worked on projects supporting efforts by clients for corporate turnaround. Engaging in close communications with the client and searching for the best organization for the company is exciting work that could be experienced only in a consulting firm.
In addition to the experience I gained working on projects, I also have positive memories of the global training I underwent in Boston six months after joining Bain. I was surprised at the comprehensiveness of the program, which involved forming teams of five to six newly-hired employees from offices around the world and addressing new issues every day for two full weeks--this was the beginning of my sense of being a member of Bain as a globally integrated organization. The other participants were all top-level personnel who had graduated from institutions such as Harvard, Princeton and MIT, and it was interesting to feel positively motivated so as not to be outdone as a member of the Tokyo office by participants from the other offices.
Advice to Prospective Bain Applicants
I believe that Bain is a firm that provides infrastructure supporting the personal development of its employees. The company conducts detailed training tailored to individual career paths, and the experiences of each individual are accumulated within the company for sharing with other offices around the world. There are numerous opportunities for employees, including a transfer program that allows employees to experience working at overseas offices and leaves of absence for attending business school with financial support.
I told those present at my interview that I planned to return to university someday. I feel that Bain is a company where employees enjoy the freedom of taking their first step into a whole new world. In fact, Bain values its network of former employees. Even if you don't think of the world of consulting or Bain as a final objective, I hope that you will consider it as a fascinating step in your life.
I thought that RUSH (Isobutyl nitrite ) was still technically legal but it's been around for ages. Articles on how the Japanese importer would stubbornly insist that all they were doing was selling video deck head cleaner...
