If you want to accelerate your recruitment process and maximize your chances of securing an offer, this package is for you. These five sessions are intended as a complete overhaul of your approach to case solving, personal fit story-lining and the overall recruitment process. The program is completely customisable for each candidate, but here is an overview of the usual structure: 1. Baselining. After a short talk about your objectives, recruiting status and self-assessment, I will give you a case based on an actual McKinsey interview. This case will be longer than the one in the actual interview to score you across all dimensions interviewers look at (usually what the first round aims to cover with two interviews). After this, we'll do feedback and talk about each question you answered, the strengths, areas of development, and what is required to improve on each of them. I will answer all your questions about the interview and how to practice most effectively. Finally, I will lay out all the feedback in written form, including an actionable set of next steps for you to work on until the next time (i.e., homework). Following the session, you will receive access to a Dropbox folder where all feedback scorecards will be added and where you will find all the training assets that I own. 2. Growth. We'll meet whenever you feel like you managed to improve on the feedback provided in the first session. Now, I will give you another case based on an actual MBB interview, this time of a significantly different type (e.g., atypical) and increased difficulty to test your development across each of the areas discussed the last time. We will then again do feedback and track your improvement vs the previous session across each question. We will work together to understand what helped you improve (so we can do more of it) and where you are lagging (so we can adjust the approach). Like before, I will give you written feedback and a set of focus areas to practice before the next case session (e.g., structuring exercises). 3. PEI. This session will require you to do pre-work to prepare three PEI stories (one for each of the dimensions). I will explain to you beforehand how to most effectively prepare them, a few tips and tricks, and I will share with you a recording of a successful PEI interview so you get to understand what great sounds like and what sort of questions you can expect from the interviewer. Then, in the session, we will review your stories and workshop them, focusing on structure, content and delivery. I love this part the most! 4. Mock interview. This session integrates the two core parts of the interview we have been practising separately until now: the PEI and the case. We will start with the PEI (as most interviews do), where you will get to tell the story and receive deep-dive questions like in the actual interview, then transition to another case based on an actual McKinsey interview (different type). In the end, we'll do feedback on both and look at the last areas you must improve on as you approach the interviews. 5. Role-play full mock. This is meant as an end-to-end assessment of your interview performance, and always ends up also as a hilarious exercise. That is because we connect pretending that we are meeting each other for the first time and you are the candidate and I am the interviewer. We will then go through the usual steps of a real interview: brief chit chat, meet and greet questions, PEI, case, and then Q&A. This will allow me to give you feedback not only on the case and PEI skills but also on how you are likely to be perceived by an interviewer, what is the extent to which you managed to connect with them, and what you can do to improve. This fifth session will also include a detailed discussion on your readiness for the interview, as well as practical advice on how to adjust your mindset to maximize your chances on interview day. Important to know: Included in this package are all the other assets I own (personal fit course, CV builder, guides, etc.), as well as access to my current base of candidates for high-impact practising Other topics you are interested in knowing more about or receiving feedback on (e.g., CV review) can be talked about as part of the package at no additional cost. Meetings happen at the pace preferred by the candidate. Sessions can be recorded if you prefer - whatever helps you prepare more. Lastly, I put a lot of heart into my candidate's success; consequently, I am honest and direct with feedback.

Ex-McKinsey | Verifiable 88% offer rate (annual report)
Hi — I’m Cristian Over the last 4 years I’ve coached ~400 candidates across 1,000+ sessions. My outcomes are tracked and published in an annual, name-sanitised report: 88% received ≥1 offer (and 63% for MBB-only targets). In my approach, I do 3 things differently: 1. I coach first principles thinking. Because consulting interviewers want to see how you think, not hear memorised frameworks. 2. I overemphasise personal fit prep. Because most candidates ignore it and that gives my candidates an edge. 3. I identify and train for spikes. Because top consulting firms don’t want you to be ok at everything, but great at something. After every session, I provide a granular 1-page scorecard quantifying your probability of passing the interview, along with clear feedback and drills to improve. Next steps: * Interview in ≤1 week: book a single session → you’ll leave with a full diagnostic, an estimated pass rate, and the top 3 fixes * Interview in >1 week: book the 5-session package → full upgrade across cases + PEI + your “spike” * Applying soon: book a CV/CL review Schedule an intro call (optional) if you're unsure whether you need one session or a package. If you have interview dates, book a session directly.
