Management Consulting

As a current BCG Associate, I bring firsthand experience across the full consulting lifecycle—from due diligence to client delivery. I've worked on multi-billion dollar transactions spanning PE buy-sides and sell-sides, evaluated software and infrastructure assets, and independently led workstreams including client-facing demos of analytical tools I built from scratch. My background spans tech, industrial goods, defense, and operations. Before BCG, I interned at Altman Solon, where I developed strategic recommendations by synthesizing data across hundreds of locations and evaluating competitive positioning against 90+ players. I also bring an engineering lens from my time at Hypoflo, a surgical device startup, where I owned projects end-to-end and drove measurable cost savings. I graduated from Dartmouth with a dual degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Operations Research, and Engineering Sciences plus a minor in Statistics. My team of 2 PhD students and I won first place globally in the 2025 MOPTA optimization competition and I have teaching experience mentoring 200+ students. I understand what it takes to land consulting offers because I've done it, and I'm passionate about helping others navigate the process.

I spent 3 years at McKinsey & Company, where I worked on strategy and operating model transformations in the financial services industry. In addition to client work, I was an active member of McKinsey’s MBA recruiting team, where I helped lead the recruitment and evaluation of MBA candidates, supported recruiting events and outreach, and interviews.

I’m a professional management consulting coach with 15+ years of management consulting recruiting and career strategy experience. I’ve coached 300+ candidates across consulting, strategy, and business roles, helping clients land offers at MBB, Big 4, boutique consulting firms, and industry strategy teams. As a former consulting manager and hiring manager, I bring firsthand insight into how candidates are evaluated across resumes, networking, case interviews, behavioral interviews, executive presence, and offer readiness. My background combines consulting experience, recruiting judgment, and deep narrative positioning. I hold an MBA from Wharton and have worked across strategy consulting, healthcare, government, education, and entrepreneurship. I help candidates build a complete recruiting strategy: sharpen their professional story, strengthen resumes and LinkedIn, prepare for case and behavioral interviews, improve mental math and communication, and show up with the structure, confidence, and credibility consulting firms expect. I’m especially strong with campus recruiting for MBA candidates and undergraduates, and have deep experience working with international applicants, experienced hires, and career switchers who need to translate a complex background into a clear consulting value proposition.

Hi, I’m Taarika! I’ve been through the full journey of management consulting recruiting - both as an intern and full-time hire - and I know how overwhelming and competitive it can be. My coaching is grounded in real experience: I’ve been the candidate navigating the process, and I’ve also sat on the other side of the table hiring undergraduate and MBA consultants. This dual perspective gives me deep insight into what top firms are truly looking for. Over the years, I’ve helped clients land consulting offers at McKinsey, BCG, and the Big 4, and gain admission to top M7 MBA programs. My coaching is tailored to each candidate and covers everything from resume reviews and case prep to behavioral interviews and storytelling. I bring a structured yet empathetic approach, meeting you wherever you are in your journey and helping you build the skills needed to succeed. Whether you're just starting out or preparing for final-round interviews, I’ll help you craft compelling stories, sharpen your problem-solving skills, and build the confidence you need to stand out.

I’ve been through the case interview process successfully across both Big 4 and MBB recruiting and have since supported many students and professionally preparing for consulting interviews. I’ll help you build strong, MECE opening frameworks, structure your thinking top-down, work through exhibits and quantitative analysis efficiently, and deliver concise, well-supported recommendations. The goal is to build the practical habits and structure needed to perform consistently across a wide range of case types.

I am an ex-Bain with over 9 years of experience. Having been interviewed by several strategy consulting companies before starting my consulting career and having interviewed over 1,200 candidates across various seniority levels, I have a deep understanding of how the application process feels and what consulting firms look for. In addition, I have been a mentor and coach for over 9 years for former colleagues at Bain & Company as well as for selected individuals from my alma mater, ESCP Business School, Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes, and Schmalenbach-Stiftung. I am confident that I can provide a unique coaching experience, including: • Real-life case studies: All the case studies we practice are based on real projects from my own strategy consulting experience and have been tested in live interviews. • In-depth, recent knowledge: With over 9 years of experience in strategy consulting and recruiting, I am thoroughly familiar with all the details of the current recruiting processes and can provide up-to-date advice. • Company-specific information: Through my network of seasoned strategy consulting professionals, I can provide exclusive, in-house information to help guide you through the recruiting process.

Prior to starting at Kellogg, I was selected as a McKinsey Emerging Scholar and pursued management consulting post-MBA. I received 3/3 internship offers from McKinsey, BCG, & Bain. I can help you understand differences between the firms, how to prepare differently, and what it takes to succeed. After joining Bain's Chicago office post-Kellogg, I also served as the on-campus rep for Global Bain recruiting where I spent 6 months meeting and preparing full-time students for the consulting interview process. I've given more prep case interviews than I can count, including traditional case and behavioral, and have a unique arsenal of tips to prepare you to succeed in MBB interviews.
