Flees also considered offers from another consulting firm and from a building-materials conglomerate. But Flees wanted more than a cookie-cutter job for Bain newbies. Her long-term plan is to buy and run her own company, and she wants her experience at Bain to serve as a crash course in evaluating acquisitions. She asked for an assignment in Bain's Private Equity group, which focuses on leveraged buyouts and portfolio work. Bain was hesitant to go against precedent by allowing Flees to jump directly into its hottest team, but she had been a stellar performer during her summer internship at the company.
