10+ people coached for Management Consulting
I am the only student to receive offers from both Bain and McKinsey from UC Santa Barbara. I just went through the networking and interview process, so tips and tricks are fresh on my mind compared to people who have left MBB after doing their time there. I have coached 7 friends into offers at Bain, McKinsey, LEK, Strategy&, EY, and PwC. I have also coached friends into Bain, McKinsey, BCG, LEK, Oliver Wyman, and Big 4 final round interviews.

About Anant
I’m a case interview coach who’s been through the consulting recruiting process very recently, so the strategies I teach are current and practical. I received offers from Bain and McKinsey and am the only one ever to do so from UC Santa Barbara. I’ve helped 20+ candidates prepare for case interviews and supported offers at Bain, McKinsey, L.E.K., EY, PwC, and other firms. Most of my coaching comes from working closely with peers and underclassmen, focusing on clear structure, strong communication, and staying composed under pressure. I didn’t come from a target school or have F500 internships on my résumé. I had to learn casing from first principles and figure out how to compete without pedigree. That experience shapes how I coach. Because I just went through interviews myself, I know what actually matters right now; what interviewers are looking for, where candidates get stuck, and what helps you stand out in a 30-minute case. If you want straightforward coaching from someone who’s been in your shoes recently, I’d be happy to work with you.
Why do I coach?
Coaching on Leland lets me do something I enjoy while delivering real, measurable results for the people I work with. First, I genuinely enjoy it. I like breaking down complex problems, seeing things click for people, and helping candidates gain confidence in a process that can feel opaque and intimidating. Case interviews were challenging for me, but having friends and colleagues to help me made a huge difference. Second, I’m good at it. I’ve helped many friends and peers land offers and final round interviews through my time casing them. I coach from first principles, give direct and practical feedback, and focus on the things that actually move the needle in interviews. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses and I am good at honing in on them.
