Management Consulting Coaches

- I worked as part of the recruiting team and am very familiar with the process and what management consultants are looking for: 1) worked in the networking sessions and diversity sessions, 2) coffee chats, 3) resume and cover letter reviews (both as initial reader and grader and final approver to go to the next round for 300+ applications), and 4) behavioral and case interviews (20+ candidates). I was the diversity recruiting lead for Stanford. - I have worked with multiple clients extensively on their resumes and cover letters, talking points for their behavioral interviews, and case interview prep. They are now consultants at Bain, BCG, McKinsey, Deloitte, and FSG (a top social impact firm alongside Dalberg and Bridgespan). I also have worked with 75+ individuals in a less extensive capacity on their consulting recruiting process (e.g., resume help or doing a case interview)

Happy to help with behavioral or case study interviews

I have extensive experience with consulting case prep and behavioral interview practice. My clients have landed internships and full time offers at MBB and other top strategy consulting firms.

With four years of experience at McKinsey & Company, I bring a deep understanding of the demands of a role in management consulting. Outside of my client work at McKinsey, I coached new summer analysts and full-time analysts. I also have coached several college and graduate students through the application and interview process, with a particular focus on preparing for case interviews.

As a Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO) Career Coach, I have a wealth of experience helping students and young professionals break into the competitive world of management consulting. In my time at SEO, I have helped numerous clients secure offers from top firms such as McKinsey, Bain, Boston Consulting Group, Deloitte, EY, and KPMG. In addition to my coaching experience, I have a strong background in the industry. I worked as a management consultant for 5 years before graduate school and developed a strong network of contacts in the industry, which can be invaluable for my clients as they seek out opportunities.

I know what it's like to be a nontraditional applicant trying to secure your dream job, without any referrals or connections. When you're a self starter, breaking into a competitive industry can feel like you're swimming upstream. I still think back to the time I interviewed for MBB internships my junior year. I'd read Case Interview Secrets and Case in Point, thought through some answers in my head... and walked into those interviews wildly underprepared. It was humbling. I didn’t get an offer that summer, but it was the fire that I needed. I doubled down and spent hundreds of hours studying, drilling, and mastering behavioral and case interviews. The effort paid off: I was able to secure an offer a McKinsey, where I worked for three years and attained the "Distinctive" performance rating. I firmly believe that mastery of the case interview is not just a means to secure a consulting offer -- it's also a predictor of success within the role itself. McKinsey opened a lot of doors for me, and I'm so excited to pay it forward to other deserving candidates who may not have the institutional or generational knowledge of competitive industries, but are otherwise immensely qualified. I've been able to distill my hundreds of hours of prep to help clients secure jobs across many industries, including consulting, real estate, hospitality, and healthcare. Coaching is an investment in yourself, and you deserve a clear picture of what you will get out of it. Here are some options of what we could do together, based on where you're at in your journey: 🦜 Build a tailored prep plan 🦜 Map out compelling behavioral interview stories 🦜 Mock case interviews 🦜 Mock behavioral/PEI interviews 🦜 Mock full interview (behavioral + case) 🦜 Resume workshopping 🦜 Cover letter workshopping 🦜 LinkedIn profile workshopping 🦜 Drills on tricky questions (e.g., case math, behavioral)
