Management Consulting

Welcome to my profile! With a rich background in strategy and consulting, I bring a wealth of experience from top-tier firms including both McKinsey & Company and Boston Consulting Group. As a former Business Analyst at McKinsey, I specialized in strategy, private equity due diligence, and consumer clients, and was offered a direct-to-Associate promotion with full MBA sponsorship within 18 months. My journey continued as a Strategy Manager at Coca-Cola and Chief of Staff at Vodacom, where I led strategic initiatives and launched new business ventures as well as 4,5 years as a tech company founder. I then returned to Management Consulting at Boston Consulting Group, as a Project leader where I have focused on Sustainability, Financial Services and Digital, and thus experienced applying as an experienced hire. I have also coached numerous individuals to achieve their career goals in management consulting. This was both at McKinsey for candidates, at Stanford GSB where I helped my classmates apply to management consulting and through workshops with companies preparing candidates from across the world for MBB and beyond interviews. I am a passionate coach and teacher, and excited to help you unlock your best.

With over a decade of experience at McKinsey & Company in the US and Europe, I understand the challenges and rewards of a career in consulting. As a coach, I focus on supporting consultants to succeed in crafting meaningful and satisfying careers, as well as with aspiring consultants looking to break into the industry.

Few things will improve your skills like receiving advice from people who lived the experience! I have a proven history of getting candidates into McKinsey and top-tier MBA programs. I specialize in case prep, behavioral interview prep, resume overhauls, and long-term career strategy. I frequently was told my coaching transformed people's approach and unlocked their competitive edge—let's do the same for you :)

Hi, I’m Neha! I'm a former McKinsey and EY consultant who's helped 50+ students prep for and navigate their way into their dream consulting roles. I've been on both sides of the table: as a candidate sweating through MBB interviews and at McKinsey helping recruit new talent. Now, I’m here to help you nail your resume, networking, and case and behavioral interviews, and walk into those rooms knowing you belong there Why me? • Firsthand experience at two of the industry’s most respected firms. I’ve broken into consulting not once, but twice – first, landing a role at EY New York out of undergrad, then at McKinsey New York out of my MBA. Both are among the most competitive offices in North America and I know exactly what it takes to earn a seat at each • A deep understanding of the recruiting playbook. Consulting interviews can feel intimidating, but the truth is they're quite formulaic. Once you understand the mechanics of the case, the behavioral, and the networking piece, the whole process becomes far less overwhelming • A coaching style built on candor and empathy. I give honest, actionable feedback because that's what actually moves the needle. But I also understand the self-doubt many candidates carry because I’ve been there Ready to make it happen? Let's get to work on landing the consulting role you've been dreaming of!

Thanks for taking time to learn a bit more about me. With more than 15 years of experience in strategic talent acquisition roles at top tier firms like Bain & Company and McKinsey & Company, I bring a wealth of knowledge to help you navigate the competitive landscape of management consulting. Having previously recruited for experienced and leadership level talent, and also having led recruiting teams globally at both firms, I have unique insights into what these firms seek in candidates as well as the interview processes they utilize. And in my first career as a strategy consultant, I worked at KPMG and BCG in addition to a boutique health tech consultancy and a health tech start up so I possess a wide variety of experience across different consultancy settings. Whether you're trying to decide which firm is the best fit for you, preparing for interviews or refining your application strategy, I'm here to provide insider insights and guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and craft a plan to achieve your consulting career goals!

I spent 5 years at McKinsey, where I was promoted to Senior Consultant and also recruited candidates for the firm. In total I have 12+ years in consulting and still work as a consultant and advisor. I know the interview from both sides: McKinsey rejected me on my first application, I rebuilt my preparation, reapplied 14 months later, and got the offer. I've coached case and fit interviews since 2020, long before joining Leland, on my own platform, StrategyCase.com, and on other coaching platforms. Across 2,300+ coaching sessions, my clients have secured 700+ consulting offers (340 at McKinsey, BCG, and Bain, and 190 at McKinsey) and left 1,600+ 5-star reviews across platforms. I've written three books on case interviews and consulting careers, including the Amazon bestseller The 1%: Conquer Your Consulting Case Interview. My SCORE storytelling framework has been used in new-hire consultant training at one of the MBBs, and I've given guest lectures at UPenn, Bocconi, LSE, WU Vienna, and HKUST Business School.

Let me be your MBB sherpa! 😊Like a sherpa, I am an expert at helping you navigate the dizzying terrain of MBB life (both recruiting and post-accpetance). My three biggest value-adds are: (1) case interviewing - to this day I still case interview applicants; (2) MBB reviews: I love to dispell the myths and rumors you may have encountered on forums like Reddit; (3) Role-fit assessment: providing honest feedback on whether an MBB career aligns with your goals. SInce I was cross-offered between BCG and McKinsey I spent an immense amount of time studying the two firms. At McKinsey I continued to do this as I focused on helping cross-offerees understand the differences among MBB. Even before starting at McKinsey, I was helping peers break into MBB by being a paid case interviewer at Wharton (where I completed my JD/MBA degree from The Wharton School and University of Pennsylvania Law School). I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my coaching. At McKinsey, I specialized in growth and efficiency studies and was trained as an interviewer, providing me with deep insights into the consulting recruitment process. Over the years, I've successfully coached dozens of MBB prospects, helping them navigate the complexities of case interviews to secure positions at top consulting firms. I particularly enjoy spending serious time explaining the differences between the firms (based off my own dilligence when cross-offered as well as from my current ex-MBB colleagues). My recent McKinsey alumunus status perfectly positions me to provide relevant insights on how to master the consulting case interview, objectively decide between MBB firms, and optimize your MBB experience (particularly at McKinsey). I enjoy talking about all facets of MBB recruiting and MBB life - nothing is off limits (e.g., what should one actually expect, how does McK staffing work in practice). The latter topic of McKinsey staffing is particularly interesting to me as I always self-staffed (apart from the summer internship). Moreover, as an alumnus who sitll uses case interviews I have recruited several ex-MBB consultants. This allows me to continue to gain insights on any Firm updates, confirm differences in how the MBB firms operate, and comment on what to expect post-MBB. Whether you're looking to refine your interview skills or need comprehensive application support, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
