Sydney’s Management Consulting Qualifications

Experience level: Associate

I’m a Wharton MBA and a McKinsey New York Summer Associate who has been on both sides of the case interview table. I’ve interviewed with all three MBB firms, so I know how McKinsey, Bain, and BCG differ in case structure, interviewer style, and what they’re actually screening for. That lets me tailor your prep to the firm you’re targeting instead of giving you generic frameworks. I can also help you navigate networking with each firm during recruiting season, from who to talk to and when, to how to turn coffee chats into real advocacy. I’m especially passionate about the McKinsey Personal Experience Interview. The partner who interviewed me told me I was her favorite PEI interviewee of the day, and I love helping candidates tell stories that leave the same lasting impression. We’ll pressure-test your stories, sharpen your structure, and make sure your impact and leadership come through clearly. I’ve completed 75+ mock cases myself and given 40+, so I know what a strong answer sounds like and where candidates tend to lose points: structuring, math, synthesis, or communication. As co-director of Wharton’s AAMBAA Careers Committee, I’ve helped many classmates prepare for and land consulting offers. You’ll get direct, specific feedback and a clear plan for improving between sessions. Whether you’re starting from scratch or sharpening for a final round, I’ll help you build the structure, speed, and confidence to perform when it counts.
