Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

I'm a seasoned consultant who secured offers from McKinsey, BCG, and an implementation firm, achieving a 100% offer rate. As an experienced hire, I attained the highest score during McKinsey's rigorous interview process. Notably, I broke into one of the firm's most homogeneous offices, where only 5% of consultants are foreigners, showcasing my ability to navigate and succeed in challenging environments.​ What I Offer: - Insider Expertise: Gain insights from someone who has excelled in the exact interviews you're preparing for.​ - Tailored Coaching: Customized sessions focusing on your unique background and strengths.​ - Strategic Preparation: Learn the frameworks and approaches that lead to success in top-tier consulting interviews.​ - Cultural Navigation: Advice on integrating and thriving in diverse or homogeneous office cultures.​ Whether you're an experienced professional aiming to transition into consulting or seeking to maximize your interview performance, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.​

I have coached 75+ to consulting offers and 50+ to MBB during my time as a mentor at Wharton's consulting club and in my time coaching outside of bschool. I have extensive experience working with applicants currently in school (including non-target) and experienced hires. Consulting recruiting can seem daunting, but it’s surprisingly formulaic. While it’s not easy, I’m here to help make the process easier (and hopefully more fun) and maximize your chances at an offer. While I am an MBB specialist, I also have experience with the interview process of every other large consulting firm and a handful of boutiques, so happy to help with whatever firms you're targeting. Feel free to ask questions or request any type of help, but these are usually the 3 areas I spend my time coaching: 1. Acing the case interview (strategy is generalizable across firms--areas of prep are case starts, frameworking, brainstorming, case math, case flow, recommendations, etc.). This is 75% of my consulting coaching and I've been coaching it for thousands of hours since 2020. 2. Impressing in the behavioral (very firm specific--McKinsey's PEI is the most infamous and I'm a specialist at this). On my McKinsey interviews, I got glowing praise for showing both emotional intelligence and strongly developed stories on my PEIs. 3. Landing an interview (networking, getting referrals, getting on the firm's radar). Whether you're an experienced hire or applying from school, this process is crucial.

Hot take: Breaking into consulting is easier than you think, but nobody does it alone. I’ve helped 80+ clients navigate the application and interview process, and I think coaching should be fun and stress-free. Let’s chat!

Management consulting at a top-tier firm can supercharge your career, but getting in can be a daunting process, especially if you come from a non-traditional background. I'm here to help! Leveraging three years at Bain on the "other side" of recruiting, I provide coaching for the entire recruiting process, from networking strategy and resume reviews to case and behavioral interview prep. A little bit about me: I spent three years at Bain & Company as a consultant and manager, after graduating from Michigan Ross with my MBA. I was heavily involved in recruiting at Bain: I was an on-campus recruiter for Pride @ Bain nationally, conducted undergraduate (associate consultant) interviews, supervised interns across Bain's Summer Associate, BASE, and ADvantage programs, and authored an MBA interview case. I've conducted over 300 mock consulting case interviews during my time at Bain and Ross, and I've successfully coached several individuals in getting MBB offers, many from non-traditional backgrounds. Let's connect and chart your path to success in consulting!

Welcome to my profile! I'm Alex Shushunov, a former McKinsey consultant and current Product Manager at Supernal. With over 14 years of experience in aerospace and defense, I have successfully led diverse, multi-component teams in challenging environments. As an MBA graduate from the University of Michigan, I have focused exclusively on serving clients in the aerospace, defense, space, and aviation sectors. I have advised senior leadership on strategic growth, operational excellence, transformation and implementation, commercial excellence, supply chain optimization, and project/program management. While working at both Accenture and McKinsey, I was an interviewer as well as a campus and veteran recruiting lead.

◆ Former McKinsey Associate Partner and Final Round Interviewer who sat on Decision Committee and had direct responsibility for hiring decisions as recently as Q4 2025 ◆ Coached 100+ candidates from both target and non-target schools to successful outcomes at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, and adjacent top-tier firms ◆ Personally received offers from McKinsey, Bain, and BCG ◆ Earned McKinsey’s top performance rating (top ~5% firmwide) for 5 consecutive years ◆ Managed, coached, and formally reviewed 150+ consultants, giving a firsthand view into what interviewers look for when identifying long-term, top-quartile performers Seven years ago, I built the interview toolkit that helped me earn offers at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. Since then, I’ve refined that toolkit using my insider perspective as both a final-round interviewer, evaluator, and people leader -- continuously adding, pruning, and sharpening it into a highly targeted, repeatable system that works. Today, I systematically train candidates on this program, coaching them to think and communicate the way MBB interviewers expect: structured, concise, and decision-oriented. I work with candidates across the full recruiting spectrum, from high-leverage, last-mile prep for those nearing final rounds, to end-to-end interview partnerships covering casing, fit/PEI, resume positioning, and interviewer psychology. Clients frequently describe my feedback as direct and precise, but warm and supportive. I won’t sugarcoat readiness, and I won’t let vague thinking or unclear communication slide, but I’m deeply invested in each candidate’s success and fully bought into helping them perform at their best when it matters most. If you’re looking for interviewer-calibrated feedback, structured skill development, and coaching grounded in how MBB decisions are actually made, I’d be excited to partner with you.

With a robust background in management consulting, I bring over six years of experience at McKinsey & Company, where I rose to Associate Partner in <4 years after joining post-MBA as an Associate.

I have given 100+ interviews and was extremely involved in recruiting, acting as recruiting lead for Chicago in some capacity from 2021-2025. If you have been to a recruiting event in Chicago in the last few years, we might have even crossed paths! I also hold an MBA from Harvard Business School, where I saw the consulting recruitment process up close as a candidate.

I'm Julie, a former Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), where I spent more than a decade advising senior executives and leading teams across a broad range of strategic and operational challenges. During my tenure, I progressed from Associate to Partner, giving me firsthand insight into every stage of the consulting career path—from securing an offer to succeeding and advancing within the firm. In addition to my client work, I was deeply involved in BCG's recruiting and talent development efforts. For six years, I served as an interviewer and member of the recruiting committee, evaluating hundreds of candidates across undergraduate, MBA, and experienced-hire recruiting. I was directly involved in assessing candidates and making hiring decisions, giving me a clear perspective on what distinguishes those who receive offers from those who do not. I hold an MBA from The Wharton School, where I was recognized as a Palmer Scholar (top 5% of the graduating class), and a Bachelor of Commerce from Queen's University. Since leaving BCG, I have continued to mentor and coach candidates pursuing careers in consulting. I help candidates strengthen their resumes and applications, develop compelling personal narratives, refine their networking approach, and excel in both fit and case interviews. My coaching combines practical recruiting insights with candid, actionable feedback tailored to each individual's goals and experience level. I work with undergraduate students, MBA candidates, experienced professionals, and career switchers pursuing opportunities at MBB firms, Tier 2 consultancies, boutique firms, and internal strategy teams. Whether you are preparing for your first consulting interview or targeting a senior experienced-hire role, I can help you navigate the process with the same rigor and perspective used by the world's leading consulting firms.
