What's up, I'm John Kreider! I'm a first generation college student and former Senior Associate Consultant at Bain & Company. I have personally done over 100 cases and given hundred more, helping dozens of students get offers at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. I've also gotten others hired from industry, which is an uncommon strength. I was a part of Bain's recruiting team and started 1GEN at Bain (now called "First at Bain"), the affinity group for first generation college students/those from low-income backgrounds (FGLI). My biggest value is that I go beyond case interview prep and instead focus on how to 1) get the interview, 2) nail the soft skills, and 3) case interview perfectly.

Applied to MBB and worked as an intern, then full time at BCG. As a coach, my feedback will be constructive and will help you reach the next level. My style of coaching is more hands-on, experiential learning and I am big on giving useful feedback , examples, drills, and a customized casing library to help elevate your strengths and work on the areas you need improvement in. My clients have all expressed that they feel a significant improvement in their skills and that coaching has equipped them with all the tools and knowledge needed to crack a case.

Recent experience with both the Bain & Co. internship application process and pre-internship programs application process -- I was part of Bain's first CREW cohort! With more than two years of experience in five different internship roles across tech and consulting, I understand what big firms look for when recruiting undergraduate students. Having completed an internship with Bain & Co. summer 2024 and received a full-time offer, I can speak to the management consulting internship experience and help others learn how to get an MBB internship and make the most of their experience. Past roles in product management, data analytics, technical consulting, marketing, and entrepreneurship enable me to take a multidisciplinary approach to career conversations.

I help graduate and undergraduate students, as well as recent graduates, prepare for interviews and land roles at MBB (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) and other management consulting firms. I was part of McKinsey's interview team and was often sought after as one of the best interview prep coaches at McKinsey and during my MBA program. Prior to McKinsey, I worked in HR and also as a recruiter, so I can provide you with detailed HR and hiring insights based on my direct experience. A few other things you should know about me: • Education | NYU Stern MBA (Class of 2020), Dartmouth College (Class of 2013) • McKinsey Experience | I worked at McKinsey for 3.5 years with a focus on M&A integrations, Organizational design, and non-profits • Interview Experience | Interviewer and member of the McKinsey Seattle recruiting as well as Dartmouth College on-campus recruiting teams • What I Do Now | I'm a senior strategy officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle

I have extensive interviewing experience, including giving cases, from throughout my professional career. These include MBA admissions interviews, MBB consulting interviews, and behavioral interviews in a variety of forms. I have also given countless mock interviews and have experience giving very detailed, nuanced feedback and tips to help candidates find immediate growth opportunities. More specifically, prior to Booth, I interviewed >100 of people during my time at Cornerstone Research, where I ended my time as the Head of Recruiting for the Boston office for the 2015 season. While at Booth, I conducted MBA Admissions interviews for applicants. With respect to management consulting, I was selected as a BCG MBA fellow prior to starting at Booth and successfully navigated the summer internship recruiting process to be a Bain Summer Associate. Since then, I have given numerous live interviews on behalf of Bain as well as helped countless students while at Booth and at Bain learn how to case successfully. I am really excited to start working with more prospective MBA applicants and management consultants navigate the interview process. From helping to craft behavioral interview answers to learning case frameworks to running practice cases, I am excited to work with you to address your particular needs and feedback areas.
