---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the last 10 years I helped hundreds of candidates from 5 continents in consulting interview preparation.

To my surprise, I found out that 80% of candidates do 2 major mistakes, right at the beginning of the case.

This was consistent between people with few cases done, and candidates with 100+ cases under their belt who read the “usual books” (yes, those ones!), and spent hundreds of dollars in coaching. Can you guess which they are?

If you do one of those mistakes, you are literally done with your consulting dream job. Statistically, if you do not know which they are, you will do at least one of them.

That’s where I can help.

I can show you the major mistakes you will do in your next interview in advance, get additional invitations via referral - including MBB - and define the optimal action plan before the big day, personalized for YOU, so that you can get the offer you deserve.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IF YOU FAILED BEFORE TO GET A TOP CONSULTING OFFER, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING…

Most likely, it is not your fault.

The truth is, the mainstream material out there doesn't work anymore. You probably did your best… with the wrong resources.

I failed at MBB the first time I applied because I only practiced with the “usual books”. After that, I decided to go through 150+ cases to be sure I would not repeat the same mistakes.

I studied ALL the consulting prep material I could find available, online and offline. I then went through finals with McKinsey, Bain, Oliver Wyman and BCG, before choosing the latter.

(BTW, I am writing a book on Case Interviews to fix this once and for all - if you are interested drop me a message and I will send you a copy for FREE when it's ready).

But for you, it's different. You have a choice. You don't have to learn the hard way.

You can now learn all the mistakes I made and save tens of hours of pain.

You can get in 1 session the experience I gained in 10+ years and 4.000+ coaching sessions, thanks to PrepLounge.

And now, with guaranteed results.

What?

Let me tell you more ;)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHY CHOOSE ME

Let me cut this short: there is one single metric you should consider when choosing a coach - success rate.

And here is mine.

More than 83% of the candidates I coach with my GYM program move to the next round or get the offer, depending on what’s next.

If you are curious about how I know the exact number: unlike any other coach, I offer a FREE coaching guarantee if you are not successful after the GYM, until you get an offer. Therefore, I can track every single candidate.

(BTW, if your coach doesn't mention how they track the success rate, it's a good idea to ask about it ;) ).

You can check 1.500+ certified 5-star reviews above that confirm that. Here are just a few for your convenience ;)

Given my success rate is real, I offer a lifetime success guarantee of FREE coaching with my program until you get an offer. You can check it out here.

Below are some additional statistics from my coaching:

4.000+ certified coaching sessions on PrepLounge. And unlike others, yes, they are all certified and guaranteed
10 years of experience. Which if you do the math, is more than one session per day. You won't find anyone with more experience than me with certified evidence
1.500+ certified 5-star reviews. All the reviews are available on this page. (Yes, they are a bit hidden - tsk tsk PrepLounge. You should click on “Reviews” on the tag above to find them.)

Moreover booking a class with me you can have:

Referrals. A diversified network of hundreds of current consultants worldwide, previous alumni of my classes, to leverage connections and networking
Certified knowledge. Complete Q&A knowledge on consulting, certified by 3.000+ forum contributions on the PrepLounge forum and 20.000+ upvotes for them
Insider information. Specific information on McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger, Strategy&, Kearney, Monitor Deloitte, ZS Associates, Simon-Kucher, Delta Partners, ADL, EY-Parthenon, KPMG, Dalberg, IQVIA, Accenture Strategy, Booz Allen and LEK, thanks to the huge network of alumni of my classes

If you book the GYM Program, as part of the sessions you will also get $1.250+ worth of material for free.

Moreover, thanks to 10+ certified years of experience in coaching (you can check the 1st review date), I can be sure to provide the most updated information on recent changes in the recruiting process for top consulting firms.

Finally, as further proof of the coaching effectiveness, 12 current PrepLounge experts are people I coached. They not only landed offers, but managed to thrive and become experts themselves.

This means 2% of the best coaches in the world for consulting prep come directly from my training. There are no other experts on PrepLounge that have accomplished that. If you want to achieve mastery, you are welcome to join them ;)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHY SO MUCH?

Some of you may think “Francesco, how is it possible that I have to pay so much for your class? I can get it much cheaper from another coach!”

Let me tell you a story.

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Once upon a time, there was the owner of a large factory. One day, he got a problem with his machinery. All the production stopped.

The owner and the workers looked everywhere to find a way to fix the problem. No way they could find it.

Finally, the owner called a famous handyman in the town where the factory was located.

The handyman came, took a quick look, opened one of the machines, and changed one single screw.

Miraculously, the entire factory started working again.

The owner was ecstatic. “How much do I owe you?” he asked.

“$10.000.” Replied the handyman.

“What? Are you crazy? You fixed a screw and it took you 1 minute to do it. How can it be so expensive?"

The handyman took a piece of paper, wrote a few words, and handed it to the owner of the factory. He read the note and paid him on the spot.

This is what was on the note:

Changing the screw - $1
Knowing which screw to change - $9.999

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

You will find:

Many coaches who can tell you that your structure, communication and math are wrong and you should improve
Very few coaches that will be able to explain why they are wrong
Even fewer that will be able to explain exactly what to do to avoid that mistake in the future
A handful that can do all that, and show evidence that what they teach works (such as this)
And none (but me) who will offer FREE coaching until you get an offer because they are sure their method works (have a look at my GYM program here for details)

With one class with me, you don't get “one class”.

You get the knowledge I developed in 4.000 sessions, all condensed in one single class, and the proof that it works.

And that’s what you are investing in.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUT CAN'T I JUST PREP ON MY OWN?

Sure you can. That's what I did. That's what most people do. And that's why most fail (yes, that's also me) the first time.

Think about it. You likely have one or two chances in your life to get a top consulting offer.

Do you want to reinvent the wheel and put your dream career at risk? Or do you want to invest in yourself, get the best possible chance, guaranteed to work and land your dream offer?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MY APPROACH

When we start coaching, my goal is not simply to provide you with a good one-hour training for consulting interviews.

My goal is that you succeed, whatever your specific goal in consulting is. As a consequence, you can expect:

✔ NO TIME LIMIT. I help candidates by sessions, not by hours. That's an important difference between me and other coaches. Yes, this means we will go on until you are done with all your questions and we have covered everything about that topic. And if you forgot something, you can always reach out (see the next point).

✔ FULL AVAILABILITY. I will provide you my personal number and will be available for you via Email, Skype or WhatsApp for unlimited questions after the session, free of charge.

✔ LONG-TERM SUPPORT. Even after we have completed the sessions, you can always count on my support. We will work together until you have met your final goal. I helped several candidates to clear doubts, choose between multiple offers and negotiate terms - all for free.

✔ AD-HOC MATERIAL. I will share with you extra material that you can use for the prep based on your needs, provide a plan for preparation between sessions and connect with my other mentees, so that you can be sure you are using the best possible resources and connections.

✔ PERSONALIZED PREP. Unlike other coaches, I have successfully helped candidates land offers at all the major consulting firms. You don’t have to worry about being prepared for McKinsey but lacking preparation for BCG. I will share the exact tips to land an offer, personalizing the preparation for your specific target. So far, I have helped candidates to land an offer at: McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger, Strategy&, Kearney, Monitor Deloitte, ZS Associates, Simon-Kucher, Delta Partners, ADL, EY-Parthenon, KPMG, Dalberg, IQVIA, Accenture Strategy, Booz Allen and LEK.

You can check here real testimonials of the candidates I helped.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SINGLE CLASS - WHAT WE WILL COVER

Below you can find just a few of what we will cover in one single class. If you prefer, we can take a single topic of the GYM or GYM Plus Program and focus on that instead.

Full practice with a mock interview, personalized to the firm you are targeting
The 2 mistakes 80% of the candidates do and how to fix them
The #1 trick to make your structure always fit the case

20-point score card showing how far you are from a pass for 1st and Final Round and the exact fixes to get there
2+ pages of feedback with every possible improvement for your case performance to get a full pass

We will see how to perfectly structure questions like:

What are the main issues for a British multinational after the Brexit?
When and in which country will there be only electric/self-driving vehicles?
Brainstorm all the negative impacts of climate change that a head of state has to think about

✓ SESSION 9: Fit Questions

Fit counts for 50% of the interview, even if it is shorter. Many candidates neglect it, thinking it is "the usual HR questions - I went through that already".

Only to find later they got rejected.

It is not difficult to prepare for the fit part, but you need to be solid on it. In this session we will see:

The killing mistake in every fit interview
The detailed structure to crack the 59 most common fit questions
The 3 must-have questions at the end of the interview

After this class, you will know everything you need for a perfect fit performance at the beginning and at the end of the interview.

The 10 sessions together have a value of $7.990, not including the bonus material which I normally price at $1.350, for a grand total of $9.340.

I am offering now the GYM Program Plus at the discounted rate of ~~$9.340~~ $4.999, with all the material for free, thus with a 46% discount.

The GYM Plus comes with the same guarantee as the standard GYM: if you have invitations for case interviews and don’t get any offer within 6 months from the last class of the program, I will personally continue to coach you for FREE after that term (one session per month + unlimited support via Skype/WhatsApp/Email) until you get a consulting offer.

I can only offer one GYM Program Plus per month. Please PM if you are interested and I can let you know if it is available.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REFERRAL SESSION

I provide a 30 min session at 50% discount on the standard rate to understand how to exactly get referrals, directly from home – no events participation required.

You can also choose to do a full session, in which case in addition to referrals we will review your CV and Cover Letter so that they can stand out.

Following that process, I managed to get 6 invitations out of 6 applications – including all MBB – and I regularly see the people I help getting referrals from MBB.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REAL PAST QUESTIONS ASKED

The following are the cities for which I know the questions asked thanks to my mentees. Overall, I have a database of 1.500+ real questions asked at MBB and top consulting companies, not available anywhere else. These are actual questions asked in real interviews - not Glassdoor ones.

McKinsey: Amsterdam, Atlanta, Baku, Beijing, Belgrade, Berlin, Boston, Buenos Aires, Calgary, Chicago, Cleveland, Copenaghen, Doha, Dubai, Hanoi, Hong Kong, Houston, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, London, Manila, Milan, Munich, Nairobi, New York, Panama, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney, Taipei, Tokyo, Toronto, Warsaw, Zagreb

For other companies, please feel free to PM me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BEFORE OUR SESSION

To maximize your benefit, you should have already done some preparation on your own before the training (5-10 cases or 10-20h spent on preparation).

You should also have an interview scheduled with or be willing to apply to McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger, Strategy&, Kearney, Monitor Deloitte, ZS Associates, Simon-Kucher, Delta Partners, ADL, EY-Parthenon, KPMG, Dalberg, IQVIA, Accenture Strategy, Booz Allen and LEK.

I only coach candidates targeting companies I helped to secure offers from. I want you to be totally sure the results are there.

We will need at least 2 days before your interview to do proper coaching. I would not recommend booking a class until the previous conditions are met, as we would not optimize your time and effort.

Before the session, I would also kindly ask you to send me a link to your LinkedIn profile or your CV as it will help to better structure the fit part, which is crucial for your success.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHO I AM

I am an entrepreneur and former BCG consultant.

I graduated from Bocconi (Italy), MGIMO (Russia) and Barcelona GSE (Spain) and then joined BCG in the Milan office.
After BCG I joined an angel fund in Berlin, where we invested in the newly born app space.
I then left the fund, founding my first company in Italy in the entertainment sector. It was though. There have been at least 5 times where we were running out of money and had 1 month left before firing everyone. I made huge mistakes, learned a lot, finally pivot the company to a sustainable business model.
After 6 years, I felt the need for a new challenge. I promoted my best team member as the new CEO and moved to Singapore to launch a new company in the EdTech sector.

During my career as a coach I have done 4.000+ interviews and Bootcamps in top Business Schools. I am currently the #1 expert on PrepLounge for Meetings.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

There may be multiple reasons why you want to join a consulting firm, but for many people, a key goal is to one day build their own business and/or be financially independent. I can relate to this very well, as this is what I also wanted to do and ended up doing.

If that's interesting to you, I am always happy to discuss the following topics free of charge as part of the classes or after them:

How to move from consulting to venture capital
Must-know tips on how to start your own company after/during consulting and top mistakes to avoid (I have done quite a few and learned a few things in the process ;) )
How to raise money from investors and/or bootstrap your way to profitability (I raised $1M+ for my first company and bootstrapping my current one)

I see the coaching I do as not just a way for you to get into a top consulting firm, but to contribute to your long-term life goals as well, so you can always reach out to me to discuss the next steps in your career as well for free after classes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the GYM, more than 83% of the candidates I coach move to the next round or get the offer, depending on what’s next.

If you are curious about how I know the exact number: unlike any other coach, I offer a FREE coaching guarantee if you are not successful after the GYM, until you get an offer (you can check the details below). Therefore, I can track every single candidate. You can check 1.500+ certified 5-star reviews above that confirm that.

This is NOT a program that works for one single company only. You will be able to leverage what we will cover in ALL your interviews, regardless of whether it is McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or any other.

Below you can find 300+ recent success stories that show that (you can click on the image below to check all of them and see that the number is real):

Whether you are an undergrad, MBA, PhD or experienced hire, if you have an interview with MBB or any of the companies above, the GYM will offer you the best possible preparation in the market today.

It works for every experience level - whether you have done 2 or 200+ cases, you can be sure to find value in the GYM program.

During the sessions, you will receive for FREE the following course material:

► 59 most common fit questions in consulting interviews (including those for experienced hires no one really knows about)

► 25 business cases and 12 market sizing questions to create drills for any possible situation

► 9 structures to instantly crack 90%+ of business cases (plus the tools to structure the remaining 10%)

► 4 structures to instantly crack 90%+ of market sizing cases (plus the tools to structure the remaining 10%)

► 5 written feedbacks of the sessions, with your mistakes and the specific steps to avoid them

I will send you homework after each class and expect you to do them (if you don't want to do homework and want just to attend sessions, please don't book the program - I work hard as your coach but I need that you work hard as well).

Before the first class, you will also get exclusive access to my 391-page case interview book - not available anywhere else.

And here is what we will cover in detail.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

✓ SESSION 1: Full Mock Interview - PEI/Fit + Case

Would you like to fix immediately 50% of all your current mistakes?

That’s exactly what we are going to cover in our first class, together with:

● The 2 mistakes 80% of people do at the beginning of the case

● The #1 trick to make your structure always fit the case

● The 3 key steps to approach any graph

● Why getting the right results in the math section is not enough

● 20-point score card showing how far you are from a pass for 1st and Final Round

…and much more.

After that, I will send you my Homework #1 on structuring and we will move to…

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

✓ SESSION 2: Case Structuring - Part 1

Do you feel you don't know how to structure operations or public sector cases? You are not alone. Many candidates struggle with that.

That’s because the "usual books" don't work for these cases.

In this session, we will cover that and practice on at least 3 mini-cases based on the homework I sent you (reflecting a variation of all the possible types of cases you may get in an interview). Plus, we will see:

● The right way to open any case (and why most candidates mess up before even presenting a structure)

● The 3 most common mistakes candidates make in communication

● Selection of real questions asked at your target office

The type of cases will cover will depend on your performance with the homework so will be fully personalized (don't worry, we will see how to structure any possible case variation anyway between this session and Session #3).

Next, we will move to...

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

✓ SESSION 3: Case Structuring - Part 2

"Should I buy a Chihuahua or a Dobermann?"

This is a variation of a real question asked in a McKinsey interview.

Do you know how to structure this?

If not, this session is for you. We will cover:

● How to create structures for any possible case

● How to answer any brainstorming question DURING the case

● Fine-tuning on your communication

The types of cases will depend on your performance with Homework #2.

Once completed the session, you will know how to instantly crack 90%+ of all the possible business cases, and easily build structures for the other 10% variations.

And then we will move to...

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

✓ SESSION 4: Market Sizing (or PEI for McK Candidates)

Do you get stuck if you get a question like "How long did it take to build the Great Wall of China?"

What about "I am the Roman emperor and you are my general. How many soldiers do I need to conquer Great Britain?"

I got these questions myself in my interviews. It was fun (sort of…).

We will base the session on your performance on Homework #3.

In this session we will see how to structure that and more:

● The 4 main types of market sizing you won’t find in any other book or guide

● The way to justify any number in an estimation

● How to impress the interviewer AFTER you have finished your estimation question

Once you complete the session, you will know how to instantly crack 90%+ of all the possible market sizing questions and have the tools to crack the other 10% as well.

(For McKinsey candidates: we can cover PEI here instead of market sizing).

And finally...

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

✓ SESSION 5: Full Mock Interview - PEI/Fit + Case

In the last session we will cover a full case applying the knowledge of the previous 4 sessions, working either on:

● A qualitative case + Complex market sizing, or

● A quantitative case

● If applicable: review of real questions of your target office (I have a database of 1.500+ real questions asked)

This will be a final round format, thus with more fit focus and pressure.

After this class, if you have done the homework I sent you (please don't skip them), I guarantee you will have the best possible preparation that any 5-session program could deliver to you.

And when I say “guarantee” I mean it (read below!).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TAILORING THE PROGRAM TO YOU

I structured the 5 sessions of the GYM so that you can maximize your performance in case interviews. However, the program is flexible and can be personalized in case you want to cover other areas - for example if you want a full session on the PEI (which we will cover anyway in sessions 1 and 5).

Say you are interested in any of the following:

● Specific PEI/fit questions

● CV and Cover Letter review

● MBB referrals

● Unusual cases

● Additional mocks

We can then change one of the 5 sessions with that. You can review ‘THE GYM PROGRAM PLUS’ section under my description or PM me for a full list of the options.

MY “YOU GOTTA BE CRAZY” GUARANTEE

Ah yes, and one more thing:

And yes, this means you will get real LIFETIME coaching support until you reach your goal. Not just support emails. Not just WhatsApp chats. Proper real coaching.

If you are thinking “How the hell can you offer this crazy guarantee?”, it is pretty simple.

The GYM works.

And given my success rate is real, I know you will get into consulting after the 5 sessions (in case you are wondering about RECENT results, the number of candidates who had to use the guarantee in the last 12 months is: zero. Yes, it's getting better;) ).

That’s why I can offer this, and all the other coaches can’t.

This is the only package in the market today with hundreds of verified success stories and UNLIMITED coaching until you reach your goal.

Yes, you pay more. But you can't lose:

Best case: you get the offer you want.
Worst case: you tell me you didn’t get the offer and I will support you for FREE until you get it.

Both options are risk-free. You have NOTHING to lose and EVERYTHING to gain by joining the GYM program.

The only thing guaranteed not to help you is NOT taking the GYM offer today.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1️⃣ How can I enroll in the program?

Please drop me a message with (i) your CV/LinkedIn profile and (ii) the companies you are targeting before booking so that I can check if the timeline works and if the program is a good fit for you.

2️⃣ How long does the program last?

If possible I would recommend at least 2-3 weeks. I have completed the GYM successfully in less time but it is not ideal.

3️⃣ I would need a session last minute - is that possible?

Please check the first available date at the beginning of the GYM description, I cannot organize sessions before that. I will have to cancel invitations if you book without notice and I don't have availability.

4️⃣ I don't have invitations yet and need help with referrals, CV and Cover - would the GYM still make sense?

Yes. We can tweak the program and add the session on CV, Cover and referrals, which includes everything you need to know to get an invitation.

5️⃣ Can I book in installments?

Yes, you can book a single session first and we can deduct that from the rest of the GYM. Please note I cannot unlock the bonus material until the program has been fully booked.

6️⃣ How can I prepare before the first class?

Before session 1 I will ask to read the draft of the case interview book I will publish soon, which will work as a good intro before the session. I would also recommend to do/read at least 5 cases before the first session (you can find 5 cases at the end of my book).

7️⃣ What is the difference between the GYM and GYM Plus?

The GYM includes 5 sessions and the rate is $2999 while the GYM Plus 10 sessions at $4999. You can find a full description of the GYM Plus by clicking on “Show More” on the “My approach” tab above.

8️⃣ What is the recommended time between sessions?

The minimum would be the time to do the homework I will send you – so most likely a few days between sessions. If possible I would recommend more time to absorb the material better, in particular after session 3 when I will unlock for you the p2p platform with other GYM members.

Please note that I am usually booked at least 1 week in advance, so most likely session 2 will be the following week.

I would recommend session 5 a few days before the interview. We can review the exact timeline during the first class.

9️⃣ I have other questions - what should I do?

Please drop me a message, I will reply within 12 hours.

I would highly recommend the GYM program. I found it a very comprehensive and thorough training program. Comparing to other coaches, I think Francesco is able to give very specific, very actionable feedback. There were several suggestions that changed my perspective on how to tackle some parts of cases or fit part of the interview.
The program is also highly customizable and easy to extend if you want to do a little more (I did for example an extra session on "Unusual Cases").

I will say this upfront so people short on time can see this right away: the GYM program is absolutely amazing. I successfully received an offer from McKinsey's Greater China Office, and I attribute a large part of my current success to my sessions with Francesco.
My candidate profile might not be a typical one—if there can really such a thing as a typical candidate profile in consulting. What I mean is that I am an English major with very little training in business or anything else adjacent. My communication is decent, but everything else I basically had to start from scratch.
Francesco was very patient with me during our sessions, carefully explaining his structures but also the underlying logic behind them so I can customize if need be. To enhance my business skills and knowledge in general, he helpfully provided cheat sheets that he made himself. The one I found most valuable for me was the industry overview one where he basically went over 20+ industries in one ppt. When it came to cases, Francesco’s structures are unique as they are robust. They are truly nothing like the ones you can find on the internet, nor like the ones you find in Cheng or Consentino or the bschool casebooks. In the first-round interview, they helped me catch something very minute that I would’ve most definitely missed otherwise.
Another aspect of his sessions I found truly indispensable is the grading system that he uses to grade case performance. I believe people who are considering this program right now all know about just how good a quantifiable result is ?, and this is something Francesco offers, with different areas of breakdown for things like structuring, communication, math etc. I would highly recommend going through this rubric with him at the end of every single session, as it personally helped me pinpoint where my weaknesses were, and exactly what I had to do to fix them.
I recommend GYM wholeheartedly without reserve. I was lucky to have Francesco in my corner during my interview prep, and I think his services would benefit anyone who is looking to up their chances significantly with their interviews.

I have recently completed the GYM PLUS programme with Francesco, and I have to say that it was TRANSFORMATIVE and WORTH EVERY PENNY. Before reaching out to Francesco, I had already done extensive preparation (~50 live cases as the interviewee, online courses, etc.) but my weaknesses were many: I still struggled at properly structuring my approach for certain case types and navigating the case, my fit performance left a lot to be desired, and I suffered from interview nerves. I ultimately got rejected in the second round with a boutique. My sessions with Francesco were absolutely amazing for the following reasons:

(1) Francesco's 2 'structuring' sessions and the 'unusual cases' session completely transformed the way I think about problems. Now, cases become extremely clear and intuitive for me (no matter how complex they may initially seem)

(2) The mock sessions are specifically tailored to highlight any weaknesses you have and to completely clean out your mistakes. Francesco ends every session by sending you a 2-3 page word doc detailing everything you did right and wrong in the case, and his feedback extends to all facets of your performance, including your verbal and non-verbal communication. The first mock highlights most of your mistakes, but subsequent sessions are still incredibly valuable as Francesco expertly pick cases with twists and nuances so you will still have a lot to learn.

(3) Francesco's market sizing session is unlike anything I have seen. I had previously thought that market sizing was my greatest strength, but Francesco taught me a more rigorous way of approaching such questions. This new way of thinking about market sizing problems will undoubtedly be very useful in final rounds where cases become more unstructured.

(4) Having done 3,200 sessions on PrepLounge, Francesco has likely heard thousands of stories and know how best to tidy up your fit answers. I had 2 fit sessions with Francesco, one focused on PEI-type questions and another focused on 'motivational' and 'ice breaker' questions. During the PEI session, Francesco helped me restructure several of my stories while polishing up the others. They are now much more intriguing then they ever were.

(5) Francesco goes above and beyond to make sure you succeed in your goal. His sessions regularly go above the 1-hour mark to make sure that he gives you detailed feedback and answer all your questions. He is also always available outside of sessions to answer any questions you may have, and to provide you with any additional materials you may need (be it practice tests or questions from your target office).

Overall, sessions with Francesco are absolutely worth it, and he will maximise your chances of getting an offer at your dream firm. I have upcoming interviews with one of the MBB and I am now very confident that I will make it through.
