About Cong
I kicked off my career by landing offers at McKinsey, BCG, and Bain, ultimately joining McKinsey. Alongside my client work, I led undergraduate campus recruiting for McKinsey for four years, meaning I know exactly how elite firms evaluate talent. Currently, I am an MBA candidate at MIT Sloan (with admissions offers from MIT, Tuck, and Yale) and am spending my summer navigating the tech ecosystem as a Strategy and Planning MBA Intern at Cisco. Having successfully pivoted from consulting to big tech, I use my insider recruiting background to help applicants win top-tier offers in both domains. I specialize in strategic storylining, video essays, and interview prep. My clients have recently landed spots at Chicago Booth, NYU Stern, and Oxford. If you want straight-to-the-point feedback and the exact frameworks needed to crack M7 admissions or tech/consulting recruiting, let’s work together.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know firsthand how lonely and overwhelming this process can be. Navigating the worlds of MBB consulting recruiting and top-tier MBA admissions by myself was incredibly difficult. There was no clear roadmap, and I had to figure out the unwritten rules of storylining, networking, and interviewing through trial and error. Having successfully made it to the other side—landing MBB offers, an M7 admission, and a Big Tech strategy role—I don't want you to have to guess your way through it like I did. I coach to give you the clear direction, proven frameworks, and honest feedback I wish I had when I was in your shoes. Your ambition shouldn't be limited by a lack of insider knowledge. Let's fast-track your success and take the guesswork out of your journey.
