Hi,

I'm looking to invest in an online course and/or coaching sessions in preparation for fall recruiting in the US. I've seen a few different avenues (I Got An Offer, CaseCoash, MyConsultingOffer, etc.). I wanted to get your thoughts on which program would be best either from experience or from what you have heard.

Thanks (:

Hi!

If you want to pursue coaching, I believe the broadest choice and highest transparency regarding ratings and candidate success is given on Preplounge. Have a look at the profiles of coaches, read through their approaches and spend some real time reading through their reviews (focus on the longer texts which provide actual descriptions of how coaches work). I don't think you have this transparency elsewhere.

Cheers, Sidi

Hi there,

Get ready to get spammed by coahces offering their services :)

In all seriousness, I agree with Sidi and Francesco in that PrepLounge is truly the most comprehensive and personalized of all the platforms.

Message the coaches that catch your eye, ask them to talk through their approach/methodology, and pick the one that works best for you!

In addition, you get a platform where you can ask any question on your mind and get great answers, where you can get paired with other candidates to case each other, where you get a bunch of cases categorized by industry and case type...and the list goes on.

Everything you need to get fully prepared is truly here...and here you can be the captain of your own ship!

Good luck in the journey :)

Hello!

Honestly, it truly depends on what you are looking for, in terms of:

  • Budget
  • Timing
  • Prefence of pre-made content vs. 1on1 coaching

In any case, all of those you mentioned are truly, but truly good.

However, in terms of coaching, I believe PrepL is the best window.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Dear A,

The pros of taking such programs are that they might me cheaper than the individual coaching, but in case of individaul coaching:

1. You can get tailored approach

2. Choose a coach according to your requirements, budget and reviews here on PrepLounge

3. Get structured feedback on your every session and the way how to improve

If you have any questions or further advice, feel fee to reach out.

Best,
André

Hi there,

Well you are probably going to get a bit biased feedback, at least on the coaching ;)

I think the benefit of PrepLounge compared to other platforms is that you can really see a complete description of what the coach is offering and his/her previous results thanks to detailed reviews.

Other platforms don’t give you real indications on which coach you are going to get, or if they do, the reviews on the coach don’t give you any real insight.

If you are interested in a proven and complete coaching program, you can find the one I am offering at the following link:

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.

Best,

Francesco
