Starting my preparation journey to become a Consultant
Hi Ashish,
That’s an exciting step and you’re starting in the right way by asking for guidance early. The most important thing at the beginning is to build a solid foundation before jumping into heavy case practice.
Start by understanding what consulting interviews test: structured problem solving, clear communication, and business judgment. Familiarize yourself with basic case formats, common problem types, and what good answers look like. In parallel, work on your fit stories and motivation for consulting, as these matter just as much as cases.
Once you have the basics, move into case practice gradually, focusing first on structure and clarity rather than speed. Practicing with others and getting feedback is key, and many candidates also benefit from working with a coach early on to get the fundamentals right and avoid building bad habits.
Happy to help you map out a preparation plan if useful.
Best,
Evelina
