Management Consulting

I recently completed an internship at Bain & Company and have accepted a return offer! Navigating the complexities of consulting recruitment can be daunting, but with my firsthand experience and coaching expertise, you'll be well-equipped to succeed. Having personally mentored numerous individuals to secure roles at MBB firms after I placed, I understand the ins and outs of the process and can offer practical and tailored advice. Many people are far removed from the interview process, yet my strategy has worked wonders for myself and those around me. Please feel free to reach out! I'm eager and willing to help :)

Shahrukh is a seasoned McKinsey consultant where he spent a decade in multiple client-facing roles across offices in North America, Middle East and South Asia. Shahrukh also holds a MBA from Harvard Business School where he also led the student consulting club. Over the past 12 years, he has prepared 1000+ candidates to craft their resumes and crack their case interviews with MBBs and get an offer. Shahrukh is now working in tech in USA.

With 400+ coaching hours under my belt, I've consistently coached folks who placed across the MBBs. As a non-traditional applicant who landed in BCG (and helped with BCG's recruiting), I know what it feels like to not know exactly where to start with the consulting prep process. I want you to feel guided and energized in your process, even if you don't have a student cohort to compare notes with! I've helped countless folks, especially experienced hires, get into MBB firms in my footsteps. I'm looking forward to helping you do the same. Reach out and let's get started!

👋 Hi! I'm Emily. I started my career in Strategy & Operations Consulting at Deloitte, where I spent four years advising clients across healthcare, technology, financial services, and pharmaceuticals. My work ranged from business strategy and operational improvement to digital transformation, giving me exposure to different industries, complex business problems, and senior executives. 🚀 One of the most valuable parts of my consulting experience was learning how to use it as a springboard for my next career move. During my final year at Deloitte, I worked with Meta as a client and successfully leveraged that experience into a full-time opportunity. I went on to earn two promotions at Meta before transitioning into a Senior Product Manager – Technical (L6) role at Amazon. 💡 I love helping candidates break into consulting, sharpen their structured problem-solving and case interview skills, and communicate their experience effectively. I'm especially passionate about helping current consultants figure out what's next, whether that's transitioning into Big Tech, moving into strategy or operations, or making the leap into Product Management. My coaching focuses on practical interview preparation, compelling storytelling, resume positioning, and building a realistic career strategy based on firsthand experience.

I’m a Wharton MBA and a McKinsey New York Summer Associate who has been on both sides of the case interview table. I’ve interviewed with all three MBB firms, so I know how McKinsey, Bain, and BCG differ in case structure, interviewer style, and what they’re actually screening for. That lets me tailor your prep to the firm you’re targeting instead of giving you generic frameworks. I can also help you navigate networking with each firm during recruiting season, from who to talk to and when, to how to turn coffee chats into real advocacy. I’m especially passionate about the McKinsey Personal Experience Interview. The partner who interviewed me told me I was her favorite PEI interviewee of the day, and I love helping candidates tell stories that leave the same lasting impression. We’ll pressure-test your stories, sharpen your structure, and make sure your impact and leadership come through clearly. I’ve completed 75+ mock cases myself and given 40+, so I know what a strong answer sounds like and where candidates tend to lose points: structuring, math, synthesis, or communication. As co-director of Wharton’s AAMBAA Careers Committee, I’ve helped many classmates prepare for and land consulting offers. You’ll get direct, specific feedback and a clear plan for improving between sessions. Whether you’re starting from scratch or sharpening for a final round, I’ll help you build the structure, speed, and confidence to perform when it counts.

Hi, I’m Annika Friesen, an ICF-certified coach, entrepreneur, and former Bain consultant. I bring a unique perspective as both a post-MBA and industry hire. I began my career at KPMG in audit, gained industry experience, and later joined Bain in an MBA hiring batch after working in education one year post MBA. This means I understand the challenges of both entry paths and can help you navigate whichever journey you’re on. Throughout my career, whether advising clients at Bain or coaching candidates and executives, I’ve been passionate about helping people make bold moves and transform their lives. My mission is to combine insider consulting insights with professional coaching to help you land offers and step confidently into your next chapter. My coaching is holistic and tailored, covering case, fit, and the small nuances that most coaches miss. Together we’ll build on your strengths, close gaps, and prepare you to stand out with confidence and clarity.

With offers from McKinsey, Bain, and BCG across both the U.S. and Japan, and a track record of helping candidates land offers at every major MBB office in the U.S. and Asia, I specialize in helping candidates break into top-tier consulting. I bring not just personal success, but institutional insight: I served as BCG’s North America Recruiting Champion in 2019, personally bringing in the highest number of experienced hire recruits across the region—a distinction that earned me a special bonus. I also led campus recruiting efforts at WashU, where I was directly responsible for the largest class BCG Chicago had ever hired from the school. From undergraduates to MBAs, I’ve coached 100+ candidates through every stage of the MBB process—from shaping compelling personal stories and acing case interviews to navigating final-round dynamics. I’ve worked with peers at Wharton, students at top undergrad programs, and international candidates navigating recruiting from both inside and outside the U.S. Beyond offer prep, I also bring insider perspective on how to build a long-term career at MBB. At BCG, I was part of the PIPE practice in the Dubai office advising Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds, which became the springboard for my later transition into finance. If you’re looking to stay and grow within the firm, or eventually pivot to PE, VC, or IB, I can help you strategically plan your path from day one. If you’re looking for proven, structured coaching to land a consulting offer—especially at MBB—this is the right package. For candidates also weighing broader finance or career strategy questions, feel free to check out my holistic career coaching package as well.

Welcome to my profile! I have successfully coached numerous individuals on various aspects of the recruiting process, helping them navigate the complexities of management consulting applications and interviews. Let's work together to craft a strategy that prepares you to best highlight your strengths and sets you apart in the competitive recruiting landscape.
