Breaking Into Consulting: Live Q&A on Recruiting, Cases and Life at McKinsey

Thinking about a career in management consulting? Bring your questions. This is a live, open Q&A with a coach who went from ad agencies to an MBA at Indiana Kelley to McKinsey. We'll cover whatever you want to dig into, including: • Recruiting: how the process works for MBA and experienced hires, networking that actually moves the needle, and what firms look for • Case interviews: how to structure your prep, interviewee led vs. interviewer led (McKinsey style) cases, case math, and common mistakes • Fit and behavioral interviews: building strong stories and how the McKinsey Personal Experience Interview (PEI) works • Life on the job: what a typical week looks like for a consultant, how teams and engagements run, travel, and the skills that help you succeed early I've coached 50+ friends, colleagues, and classmates through recruiting and screened candidates for my MBA consulting club, so no question is too basic or too specific. You'll leave with a clearer picture of whether consulting is right for you and a concrete next step for your prep. Come ready to ask questions, and feel free to submit them in advance.
