WHO SHOULD GET IN TOUCH: I primarily work with candidates who have established basic casing foundations but now seek to take their performance to the level where they not only can crack ANY case but also DIFFERENTIATE themselves from the rest of the crew. I value your and my time and there are better and cheaper options for you to build and practice basic casing skills.

WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ME TO BE YOUR COACH: As a partner at MBB, I've conducted 50+ first- and decision-round interviews. Time and time, I noticed candidates falling into similar traps even though I can see they did put a lot of effort before getting to these interviews. I have detailed and unique insights into what it takes to SUCCEED and FAIL in a case interview, including detailed scoring rubrics leveraged by MBB for both behavioral and casing. You can expect candid, targeted, and detailed feedback from me on how to raise your performance to become an MBB consultant.  I'm passionate about helping you succeed, and I'll be by your side every step of the way. That is a promise!!

HOW DO I ENGAGE: We will run a diagnostic session on our first meeting, where I candidly share my diagnostic on where you stand on your prep, i.e., do you need more practice on basics OR do you just need to polish your case execution skills to surely get an offer? Typically, we align on a 1-2 weeks customized-to-you prep plan (3 - 5 meetings).  This is where I will give you specific prompts and phrases that you can leverage to CONVEY confidence and DRIVE the discussion, especially with partners.

HOW I CAN HELP: 

The bar is rising every single year. Applying vanilla frameworks and getting to the right answer does not take candidates too far. I've identified three key principles that are critical to success that will continue to separate “great” from “good”: first-order thinking, executive presence, and creativity grounded in pragmatism.

  • First-order thinking is about understanding the fundamentals of a problem before trying to solve it. It involves breaking a problem down into its component parts, identifying the underlying causes and drivers of those parts, and understanding the interrelationships between the parts. This type of thinking is critical for success in case interviews because it allows you to build a comprehensive and thorough understanding of the situation at hand

For example, a strong candidate would compare a struggling company to a car that has multiple problems: a broken engine, a flat tire, and low fuel. If you fix the engine, the car might start, but it won't get very far on a flat tire or with an empty tank of gas. A first-order thinker would look at all of the car's problems and develop a holistic plan to get it up and running

  • Executive presence is the ability to project a sense of leadership, confidence, and authority in your interactions with interviewers and partners in the firm. It's not just about what you say, but also how you say it, your body language, and your overall demeanor.

In a case interview, a candidate with executive presence might take charge of the discussion, asking thoughtful questions and directing the conversation in a productive direction. They might speak clearly and confidently, using concise language and avoiding jargon. They might also be aware of their body language, making eye contact and using open, relaxed body language. By demonstrating these qualities, the candidate projects confidence and leadership, which can make a strong impression on the interviewer

  • Creative and pragmatic thinking is the ability to think outside the box and develop novel solutions, while also being grounded in practicality and realism. In a case interview, this might mean proposing a unique solution to the problem at hand, but also being able to demonstrate how the solution could be realistically implemented and would result in measurable benefits
