For those interested, I just spoke with HR in Paris, and there is no living allowance during the MBA from this office (too bad for me ;-)).
The package is made of full tuition reimbursement and an extra for the MBA related expenses such as books.
If you commit to return to Bain from the beginning of your 2-year MBA, the 2-year tuitions are covered. If you decide to wait until year 2 to announce your return to the firm, only the second year will be covered.
Even if I had known that before, I would have still been willing to apply to Paris since this is the city I want to live in, but for the ones who are flexible at the beginning of their careers, it is a shame that there is such a difference between the offices policies and that there is no way to know that from the beginning. One extra year of salary for the one who goes to Munich instead of Paris could be an important factor in one's decision, don't you think? |

The Paris offer is very close to the standard Bain MBA sponsorship offer. I don't think that Munich's package would be substantially different in value vs. Paris's. Consider whether you have all the information and whether it's from a reliable source.
