Break into The Firm: The Full McKinsey Prep Package

This package gets you fully ready for both halves of the McKinsey interview — the case and the PEI — so you can structure any problem cleanly and tell sharp, high-signal stories under pressure. We'll focus on three things: (1) Master the case: We'll build clean, MECE structures, fast and accurate math, and a crisp top-down recommendation — developing the structured thinking and business judgment McKinsey actually tests for, not memorized frameworks that break on a non-standard case. (2) Build your PEI story bank: We'll identify your strongest examples across leadership, personal impact, and entrepreneurial drive, and shape each into a sharp answer with a clear tension, specific actions, measurable impact, and a strong takeaway — stories with real stakes and ownership, not ones that just "sound good." (3) Rehearse and pressure-test: We'll run realistic mocks across both case and PEI, and I'll push on your logic, math, and story details the way a real interviewer would — so you can think on your feet and defend every answer when the follow-ups get hard. You'll walk away with a repeatable approach to cracking cases, a polished PEI story bank, and a clear plan for what to tighten before interview day. This isn't generic consulting prep — McKinsey tests structured problem solving, judgment, self-awareness, and real impact, all at once. My job is to bring that out clearly, without sounding scripted.
