Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

◆ Former McKinsey Associate Partner and Final Round Interviewer who sat on Decision Committee and had direct responsibility for hiring decisions as recently as Q4 2025 ◆ Coached 100+ candidates from both target and non-target schools to successful outcomes at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, and adjacent top-tier firms ◆ Personally received offers from McKinsey, Bain, and BCG ◆ Earned McKinsey’s top performance rating (top ~5% firmwide) for 5 consecutive years ◆ Managed, coached, and formally reviewed 150+ consultants, giving a firsthand view into what interviewers look for when identifying long-term, top-quartile performers Seven years ago, I built the interview toolkit that helped me earn offers at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. Since then, I’ve refined that toolkit using my insider perspective as both a final-round interviewer, evaluator, and people leader -- continuously adding, pruning, and sharpening it into a highly targeted, repeatable system that works. Today, I systematically train candidates on this program, coaching them to think and communicate the way MBB interviewers expect: structured, concise, and decision-oriented. I work with candidates across the full recruiting spectrum, from high-leverage, last-mile prep for those nearing final rounds, to end-to-end interview partnerships covering casing, fit/PEI, resume positioning, and interviewer psychology. Clients frequently describe my feedback as direct and precise, but warm and supportive. I won’t sugarcoat readiness, and I won’t let vague thinking or unclear communication slide, but I’m deeply invested in each candidate’s success and fully bought into helping them perform at their best when it matters most. If you’re looking for interviewer-calibrated feedback, structured skill development, and coaching grounded in how MBB decisions are actually made, I’d be excited to partner with you.

I'm Julie, a former Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), where I spent more than a decade advising senior executives and leading teams across a broad range of strategic and operational challenges. During my tenure, I progressed from Associate to Partner, giving me firsthand insight into every stage of the consulting career path—from securing an offer to succeeding and advancing within the firm. In addition to my client work, I was deeply involved in BCG's recruiting and talent development efforts. For six years, I served as an interviewer and member of the recruiting committee, evaluating hundreds of candidates across undergraduate, MBA, and experienced-hire recruiting. I was directly involved in assessing candidates and making hiring decisions, giving me a clear perspective on what distinguishes those who receive offers from those who do not. I hold an MBA from The Wharton School, where I was recognized as a Palmer Scholar (top 5% of the graduating class), and a Bachelor of Commerce from Queen's University. Since leaving BCG, I have continued to mentor and coach candidates pursuing careers in consulting. I help candidates strengthen their resumes and applications, develop compelling personal narratives, refine their networking approach, and excel in both fit and case interviews. My coaching combines practical recruiting insights with candid, actionable feedback tailored to each individual's goals and experience level. I work with undergraduate students, MBA candidates, experienced professionals, and career switchers pursuing opportunities at MBB firms, Tier 2 consultancies, boutique firms, and internal strategy teams. Whether you are preparing for your first consulting interview or targeting a senior experienced-hire role, I can help you navigate the process with the same rigor and perspective used by the world's leading consulting firms. I look forward to working with you.

I worked at BCG for ~9 years, starting as an Associate and receiving direct promotions to Partner. While at BCG, I led our office recruiting (including performing 200+ final round interviews) and our Career Development Committee for Associates & Consultants, so I know both how to get the offer and also succeed at the job over time. Whether you need assistance with case interviews, fit questions, resume refinement, or strategic career advice, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. While in undergrad, I received offers from all 3 MBB firms and ultimately selected BCG. I know what it takes to get Consulting offers and am happy to help you however I can. Let's connect and craft a personalized plan for your consulting career success!

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a robust background as a Consultant at McKinsey & Company, I bring firsthand experience in management consulting to help you navigate the competitive application process. During my tenure, I honed my skills in strategic problem-solving and client engagement, which are crucial for success in consulting roles. Whether you need help with case interviews, resume refinement, or crafting compelling cover letters, I'm here to support your journey. Let's connect and strategize your path to a successful consulting career!

I bring firsthand experience from both McKinsey and Bain & Company. At McKinsey, I excelled as a Senior Business Analyst, earning the highest possible ratings and gaining valuable insights as a trained interviewer. My journey also includes a successful stint as an ACI at Bain, where I secured a full-time offer. I've had the privilege of coaching several individuals, helping them navigate the competitive consulting landscape and achieve their career goals. Whether you're looking to master case interviews or refine your application strategy, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and chart your path to success in the consulting world!

I spent five years at McKinsey, where I worked across technology, digital, analytics, and strategy engagements. Since then, I’ve led consulting, technology, and operations teams at Qualtrics and built two companies of my own. A big part of my career has also been developing other people. I’ve coached teams of consultants and internal consultants, trained 50+ Technical Consultants at Qualtrics on how to deliver an exceptional client experience, and interviewed 100+ candidates for McKinsey. That experience is actually what led me to build UpLeveled. I’ve found that many of the skills that make someone an exceptional consultant—handling a difficult client conversation, communicating clearly with executives, giving feedback, influencing without authority, or structuring an ambiguous problem—are hard to learn from a slide deck or a class. You get better by practicing them. UpLeveled uses AI role-play to make that kind of practice much easier to scale. Whether you're trying to break into consulting, become a stronger consultant, or develop the people on your team, I can help with both the frameworks and the practical skills that make a difference on the job.
