Bain & Company

Joaquín Romero, Senior Manager, Atlanta ✈️ "At the age of 17, I moved from my medium-sized town in Argentina to Buenos Aires, where I studied Industrial Engineering. It was a new environment that required adjusting to a new study schedule and trying to make new friends. Fast forward, an experience of a lifetime was presented to me to participate in a six-month student exchange program in Belgium, which would not affect my grades but would delay my graduation. I decided it was worth the trade-off and embarked on my first international experience. I could honestly say that it was mind-blowing. I lived on campus, met many individuals from diverse cultures, traveled around Europe, and made more lifelong memories. 🎓 Fast forward, I worked for a year in Mercado Libre and decided to continue my education and moved to the U.S. to pursue an MBA at Harvard Business School. The first six months were very difficult. I was a non-native English speaker, recruiting for a job in consulting and adjusting to the case method. While these challenges pushed me out of my comfort zone, they also helped me grow. It was during this program that I met my wife and began my relationship with Bain as a Summer Intern. I loved my experience at Bain and ultimately chose to join the firm full-time after completing my MBA. 🚗 My time at Bain has been incredibly rewarding. At first there was an adjustment period because I didn’t know anyone in the Atlanta office and had just moved there to live closer to my wife’s family. The Bainies in the office were very welcoming, however, and I was able to get my footing and connect with new people. Some of the ways in which I was able to build meaningful relationships at Bain included joining the Bain soccer team and leading our Atlanta Familia at Bain group, a diverse community for Bain professionals with Hispanic, Latino/a/x, Chicano/a, Latin American, and Afro-Latino heritage. 🌟Throughout my journey, I faced several important life decisions. One of the questions I like to ask myself is if you’ll regret not doing it in 10-20 years. If the answer is yes, then just go for it. I think life is about figuring things out along the way and pursuing your dreams." Hear more from Joaquin: https://atbain.co/4eoqWn4
