What case coaching packages are the best?

Hi there,

Not sure about external platforms, but several coaches on PrepLounge offer coaching packages. You can find them here (you can either scroll down or select “Expert Package” in the “Categories” bucket):

https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop

The advantages compared to other platforms are:

• You can see independent reviews
• You can choose from different coaches the one who matches your needs/budget
• You can message the coaches before buying a package
• You can check the answers of a coach in the Q&A
• In case the package doesn’t have a lot of reviews, you can check the reviews for the individual classes of the coach

If you have additional questions please feel free to PM me.

Hope this helps,

Francesco

I used MBB offer machine and can highly recommend it as you get access to a lot of videos + learning material, you have Ex MBB coaches and a peer group to prep with - and they are super flexible and well organized :-) 

The thing I like about preplounge is that you have a lot of coaches available, and you can go through their profile, read their value proposition, understand their experience level, read their recommendations, and also read their answers to Q&A to check how knowledgeable they are (and their personal style), and you can even engage with them with the personal message feature. You can find someone who matches your specific need. And you can try a single session, before commiting to the “full package” (and you can also try a short conversation begore commiting to a single session). This is very transparent at all levels.

From what I'be been able to understand, some coaches around here have their own pre-made packages, others don't have a standardized package but offer a mentoring approach and can customize a package for you, and others focus more on providing a realistic mock interview experience. You should check this link https://www.preplounge.com/en/case-interview-experts.php

What I don't like about some websites out there is that they are not very transparent on their approach and prices, and also that they ask you to leave your details to schedule a (sales) call so that you can get that information… 

Hello!

If you are looking for independent comments from people who indeed have worked with the coaches, Preplounge is indeed a good place. 

All coaching packages can be rated only by people who bought them, so you can trust those opinions. 

I furthermore advise you that you have a quick chat with the coach beforehand, to learn more about the way the work and whether that aligns with what you want. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Hi there,

This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I am happy to provide my perspective on it:

• From my own personal experience, I would advise you to have 15-minute introductory sessions with the coaches on your shortlist to understand how exactly they would help you and whether it feels natural talking to them. In the end, it is your time and money which should be invested in the best possible way.
• Moreover, I would advise you not to focus too much on the sheer figures on PrepLounge since some people do coaching as their full-time profession for years but still would not offer a better value.
• Lastly, I would advise you to research on your coaches a bit (most can be found on LinkedIn very easily). Unfortunately, most have merely spent 1-2 years in consulting meaning they were hardly part of the recruiting teams at all.

In case you want a more detailed discussion on how I might be able to work with and help you, please feel free to contact me directly.

I hope this helps,

Hi there,

There are pros and cons to all of them! Ultimately, I highly recommend you don't “shop cheap”. You may have heard the expression “you get what you pay for”, and in this instance the risk you take on by going cheap just isn't worth it (I've seen too many candidate who learned bad habits and actually did themselves a disservice by not getting the right package/coach).

When shopping, just make sure to to your research! You need to look at reviews, talk to other candidates about what they're using, and, ultimately, try to have a call with the coaches you're interested in - see if they're a good fit!
