Xin has helped clients get into these companies:
I'm a seasoned consultant who secured offers from McKinsey, BCG, and an implementation firm, achieving a 100% offer rate. As an experienced hire, I attained the highest score during McKinsey's rigorous interview process. Notably, I broke into one of the firm's most homogeneous offices, where only 5% of consultants are foreigners, showcasing my ability to navigate and succeed in challenging environments. What I Offer: - Insider Expertise: Gain insights from someone who has excelled in the exact interviews you're preparing for. - Tailored Coaching: Customized sessions focusing on your unique background and strengths. - Strategic Preparation: Learn the frameworks and approaches that lead to success in top-tier consulting interviews. - Cultural Navigation: Advice on integrating and thriving in diverse or homogeneous office cultures. Whether you're an experienced professional aiming to transition into consulting or seeking to maximize your interview performance, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

About Xin
I spent years in strategy and operations across PE, M&A, and large-scale commercial transformations before breaking into McKinsey, earning the highest scores across every interview dimension. My interviewer called me afterward to say performances like mine were rare. That wasn't luck. It was a system built on first-principles thinking, not tricks. Before consulting, I worked at the intersection of commercial strategy and complex technical programs at a Fortune 500 company, giving me a depth of real business judgment that most coaches simply don't have. I hold dual master's degrees in Finance and IT Management from top European and Asian institutions, and I've lived and worked across multiple continents — so wherever you're applying from, I get the context.
Why do I coach?
Most case coaching teaches you tricks. I teach you how to think. Frameworks are easy to memorize, and interviewers can tell when that's all you've done. The candidates who get offers are the ones who think like consultants before they walk in the door: structuring ambiguity on the fly, pressure testing their own logic, and telling a personal story that actually lands. I specialize in two things most coaches underserve: PEI that feels real and case thinking that transfers to any problem you've never seen before. No canned frameworks. No "tips and tricks" that fall apart the moment an interviewer goes off script. Just structured, first principles reasoning that gets you the offer and serves you on the job. I work with candidates who are serious about leveling up, not looking for shortcuts. Whether you're struggling to make your PEI stories compelling, hitting a wall on case math, or blanking when a case goes somewhere unexpected, I'll help you build the muscle, not just the motions. If you want the coach who'll make you genuinely better, not just more rehearsed, let's talk.
