Case Like Crazy — Custom Case Interview Packages
When I was recruiting for management consulting, a recruiter told me that most new hires had done at least 30 practice case interviews. Amongst my peers, the anecdotal number is 50. This bulk package is for those who want to commit the time to give them the best chances at nailing the interviews and receiving an offer. These sessions are customized to your case interview needs and challenge areas, and can include: - Strengths/weaknesses assessment - Overview of crucial case interview skills - Walkthrough of different types of cases (from the ubiquitous to the rare curveballs) - Instruction on foundational business acumen (functional grasp of financial statements, investment basics, industry overviews, etc.) - Drills for individual components (problem structuring/framework development, mental math, brainstorming, etc.) - Lots of full cases with feedback This package is more of a choose-your-own-adventure, and I'd be happy to develop a custom curriculum with you. In terms of suggested volume, I'd recommend the following: 5 hours: Test run/confidence building 10 hours: Inform and augment other preparation (for example, for students in on-campus consulting clubs) 20 hours or more: A true guide on breaking into consulting, especially from non-business industries (e.g. military, arts, sciences)
What's included
As with all of my sessions, our work together will be customized around you: what you want the most help with, what you already know and don't know, how you best learn. What I will bring to the table: lots of cases, and lots of case interview skills.
- Honest evaluation of current capabilities and a roadmap towards success
- Concrete skills necessary for success in case interviews: problem solving frameworks, mental math, rapid brainstorming, client communication
- Lots of practice

I have a lot of beliefs, a selection of which strongly influence how I coach: - In the words of Ted Lasso, all people are different people. I strive for empathy and understanding, to treat everyone as an individual, and assume best intentions and effort - No one is fixed and everyone has the potential to grow and improve, especially if they combine motivation, instruction, and diligent practice - We perform the best when we're performing for a meaningful purpose; and, often, we find a lot of purpose in helping or supporting others - Everything is easier when it's fun - Matzoh ball soup is the best soup (currently #1 in my soup power rankings — not relevant to coaching, but in case you wanted to know) Hopefully these beliefs give you an idea of what to expect from working with me. Some additional fun facts about me: - I had a short-lived but very fun stand-up comedy career - I'm in the 9th of 9 divisions of an adult recreational ice hockey league (I am bad at hockey) and in the fourth of five divisions in a recreational trivia league (slightly less bad at trivia) - I'm a (not very proud) recipient of the "Star Relationship Builder" award from the Wharton School - I was once a guest on the NPR program "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me"
