Unlike other coaches, I want to give a 100% guaranteed support. That means that I will only charge you after you get your offer.  

Do you know precisely where you need to improve to get your offer?

Have you ever felt like friends and coaches don’t ultimately understand you or tell you the truth?

Can you confidently list all the criteria needed for each part of the interview?

I’ve been there. I lived through it, and I’ve trained countless candidates to succeed. The feedback I often hear is, “You were the only one who told me the right path; I will thank you forever!”

My name is Jose da Silva, and I’m here to make sure you know exactly what to focus on to turn your MBB dream into reality.

  • As a former McKinsey consultant and interviewer, I’ve gone through the interview process and seen firsthand what it takes to stand out.
  • I don’t just give you tips — I provide the honest truth and detailed feedback that no one else will.

I’m committed to showing you where you need to improve, how to master problem-solving, and how to communicate with impact.

  • My coaching is laser-focused on the specific skills you need, tailored to your journey.
  • I’ve helped many candidates prepare and excel — because I know what McKinsey wants.

My clients say my approach is different because it’s honest, practical, and personal.

  • Whether one-on-one or in workshops, my methods are designed to give you the confidence and clarity to crush your interview.
  • You won’t just practice — you’ll transform.

If you’re ready to get real about where you stand and what you need to do to secure your offer, I’m ready to guide you there.

Jose da Silva, a former McKinsey consultant, offers a unique coaching program for those aiming to land a job at MBB firms. Unlike others, he guarantees support by only charging after you secure an offer. His approach focuses on providing honest and detailed feedback, identifying areas for improvement, and mastering problem-solving and communication skills. With personalized strategies and proven methods, Jose helps candidates gain confidence and clarity to excel in their interviews.

I can't thank Jose enough for the incredible impact he’s had on my preparation. His guidance during our case sessions has been transformative. He pointed out specific issues in my speech that I had always suspected were problematic but never received feedback on. I feel like many people shy away from giving honest critiques, perhaps due to the pace of our interactions or misconceptions about my ability to improve, especially with my language barrier. Jose's insights not only helped me secure my summer offer but have also been invaluable as I tackle full-time recruiting. His knack for simplifying complex problem-solving strategies and providing structured, actionable feedback after each mock case has made the process feel much more manageable. He doesn't just point out areas for improvement; he gives me practical tips that enhance my approach. His encouragement during tough cases has significantly boosted my confidence and refined my analytical skills, equipping me to handle the unique challenges of each interview. I truly appreciate his dedication and support—thank you, Jose, for being such a vital part of my journey!

Jose provided invaluable insights into case frameworks and shared practical tips that boosted my confidence significantly. The mock interviews were particularly helpful, simulating real interview conditions that helped me refine my communication and problem-solving skills. I’m truly grateful for their unwavering support and expert guidance—this session has undoubtedly set me on the path to success! Thank you, Jose, for your exceptional coaching!
