Breaking into consulting can feel overwhelming when you're trying to navigate networking, recruiting timelines, case interviews, and firm selection all at once.

XYZ Holiday Parks: Full Case + Model Answers

The exact case I ran live in Inside the Interview Room, now with the full model solution written out.

Then I build one live from scratch on a real case so you can see exactly how it comes together.

Based on real experience as an ex-McKinsey consultant and HBS MBA who has been on both sides of the interview table. Useful whether you have 3 weeks or 3 months until your interview.
