Hello PrepLounge Community, did anybody buy the paid Mckinsey training course incl. the 1:1 case interview coaching from Igotanoffer (). would appercitae your reviews here. I am currently under a time pressure
on a final note, I am applying for a Specialist position, should I expect the same interviews as a generalist?
Thanks!
I used IGotAnOffer.com and, unfortunately, I can’t recommend the platform based on my experience.
- My coach did not show up for the scheduled online session. This resulted in wasted time (both preparation and the session itself) and a $100 charge.
- Instead of a refund, I was issued credits in the platform’s in-app currency.
- Afterward, I was not given an option to leave a review for the coach. This lack of accountability makes it difficult for users to make informed decisions about who they book with.
Positive:
The booking process itself is simple and user-friendly, and scheduling a session is straightforward.
Overall, while the platform has potential, the absence of accountability for coaches and the lack of direct refunds left me disappointed.
Hello,
I had a candidate using that material and he was not super happy with it.
It's a good source but it strongly depends on your profile and the status of your preparation. To receive a realiable answer, you should give a clear overview of your strengths and weaknesses.
Feel free to text me if you want to discuss it further,
Luca
Hi,
IGotAnOffer: I've heard good things but it definitely depends on your learning style.
Specialist Interviews: No, your interviews will be different. BUT, they should be 80% the same. Still prep as a generalist but there are a few differences.
If you're short on time I highly recommend a coaching session. Especially if you're willing to pay for an online course. Even 2 hours with a coach is more valuable that a course (in my opion). At the very least, this rapid uptake of information should be accompanied by an expert helping you pay attention to what matters. 1-2 sessions makes a huge difference.
Hi Anonymous,
in terms of your questions on the Specialist position: the interview process is the same, however you may get cases related to your specific field of focus. Please feel free to PM me for more information, I recently helped an experienced hire at Principal level to land a Specialist position at McKinsey.
Best,
Francesco
