Work Experience

Bahraini ex-McKinsey JEM / Sr. Associate based in Dubai. I spent over four years at the firm, mostly serving clients in Saudi Arabia and the UAE across sovereign wealth, private capital, and public-sector topics. I’ve coached and mock-interviewed 50+ candidates and know what it takes to move from “almost there” to MBB offer-ready.

My coaching is interviewer-led, sharp, and outcome-focused. I simulate the pressure and pacing of real MBB interviews, while offering direct, honest feedback mapped to what firms like McKinsey actually assess. Whether you’re struggling with case structuring, mental math, or storytelling for the PEI that's regionally appropriate, I’ll help you close the gap.

In short: Highly recommended for anyone preparing for consulting interviews. Salman delivers clarity, depth, and practical guidance that makes a real difference. ————————————— I had an excellent experience working with Salman. His extensive consulting background at a top firm, combined with many years of experience in the GCC region, truly sets him apart. He is down-to-earth, communicates with crystal clarity, and demonstrates an exceptionally sharp, detail-oriented mindset. I’ve always considered myself someone with a strong eye for detail and having a well-structured “bulletproof” resume. Yet, Salman was able to identify meaningful areas for improvement that I hadn’t noticed. He not only highlighted these gaps but also provided a clear, practical document outlining exactly how to implement the changes. Beyond resume feedback, Salman guided me through the Personal Experience Interview (PEI) preparation. He explained what to expect, broke down the types of follow-up questions, and shared how to handle them with confidence. This structured walkthrough was invaluable, giving me a much clearer picture of the interview process. Overall, the session exceeded my expectations. Salman’s insights were actionable, his feedback was precise, and the value I gained was more than worth the investment. I will definitely arrange future sessions with him when I’m ready to focus on case interview preparation.

He helped me polish my case skills, refine my communication, and feel fully prepared for the interviews. His guidance and insights were invaluable, and I truly appreciate the time and effort he put into every session.
