MBB Math Guide

The interviewer slides a number across the table, the mental clock starts, and a perfectly capable person goes silent, scrawls something unlabeled in a corner of the page, and produces an answer with no idea whether it's plausible. This guide fixes that. It distills MBB quantitative interviewing down to the seven patterns that show up again and again: market sizing, breakeven, profitability trees, ROI and payback, the margin-versus-markup trap, capacity and utilization, and unit economics. It works each one through a full, spoken-aloud solution, the way you'd actually deliver it in the room. You'll learn to frame the equation before you calculate, round aggressively and say so, sanity-check every number against the real world, and close with the one sentence that separates a calculator from a consultant.

Global Mobility for Real People: Careers, Visas & Passports in 2026

Borders are tightening, digital‑nomad visas are mostly marketing, and “just get an MBA abroad” is no longer a complete mobility plan.

You will leave with: - A clear framework for thinking about mobility as risk management and opportunity, not fantasy - A map of the main routes that actually move the needle for early and mid‑career professionals - Concrete questions to ask when choosing schools, employers and countries if you want real global options, not just a nicer passport stamp
