I Coach You the Way MBBs Train You Not the way candidates try to hack interviews. Train like a consultant - and get hired like one. Hi, I’m Gaurav. Consulting changed my life. Now I help others build consulting careers worth having. Before founding Being Consultant, I worked at McKinsey in Germany and later led a strategy & consulting recruitment firm - so I’ve been on both sides of the interview table. Over the past few years, I’ve coached 2,250+ candidates across 55+ countries to secure offers at MBB and other top firms. Here’s what I’ve learned: Firms don’t hire the best case-solvers. They hire the best future consultants. That’s exactly what my coaching is built for. What makes my approach different • I don’t create framework-memorizers - I build problem solvers who think like consultants • My coaching blends real McKinsey training + active recruiter insight • Everything is tailored to your strengths, your story, and your growth speed • I go beyond cracking the case - communication, storytelling, and on-job readiness • You become someone MBB wants on their team - not someone trying to imitate one The results prove it >>People from unconventional backgrounds — opera singer, US Marine, STEM researchers — now thriving in MBB >>From 7-day turnarounds to structured multi-month journeys — we deliver across timelines >>Multiple paths - free tools, group programs, high-touch 1:1 — same high bar, same outcomes If you’re aiming for consulting - and want to enter with clarity, skill, and confidence - I’d love to help you get there. Let’s jump on a short intro call and explore if this is the right fit for you.
