Do MBB consultants seem super human? I promise they're not. As a very normal person who successfully navigated MBB recruiting (and who has coached/mentored dozens of students since), let me help prepare you to do the same. First and foremost, I understand what it takes to land an MBB offer because I've successfully been through the process, securing an offer at BCG. In addition to the prep required to land the offer, my subsequent internship with BCG shed so much light on case interviews--why consulting firms choose to use them and what attributes they are looking for in interviewees. When you finally get your feet wet in a real consulting project, you understand why these 30 minute puzzles are weighed so heavily in the hiring process! I've also had several impactful consulting-related leadership experiences while at BYU. I served as a co-president of BYU's Management Consulting Association, an organization of ~250 students dedicated to recruiting and case prep. This required me to be at the top of my game, running cases with and mentoring dozens of students. Helping these students through the recruiting process has solidified my understanding of what does and doesn't work, as well as how to give meaningful, specific, and actionable feedback. Along with this, I was a director for BYU's Cougar Consulting Group, a management consulting group on campus led by a BYU business strategy professor (ex-Bain, ex-professor at Wharton) and staffed by ~50 students. I supervised three teams working on real consulting projects for real clients, guiding them in the development of their logic structures, research and data analysis, recommendations, and client-ready deliverables.
