What to expect:

This flagship program is designed as a full curriculum for serious candidates who want end-to-end coaching with structure, accountability, and premium resources. With 25 sessions, it takes you from zero to MBB-ready through a carefully sequenced five-part journey:

Detailed Description:

Part 1: Decoding the Case Interview Landscape
  • Understand the purpose of case interviews and what interviewers truly assess.
  • Break down behavioral interviews (PEI): what firms look for and how to show it.
  • Explore who consulting clients are and the problems they bring to firms.
  • Build your personal prep plan: milestones, timelines, and practice strategy.
Part 2: Crack the Core Case Types & Build Your Foundations
  • Master the major case types: Profitability, Market Entry, M&A, Pricing, Growth, Estimation, Investment cases.
  • Build competence across the three pillars of case performance:
    • Structuring (frameworks, MECE logic, hypotheses)
    • Data & Quant (math speed, chart interpretation, insights)
    • Brainstorming (structured creativity, idea generation)
       
  • Develop business foundations: industries, organizational functions, market/customer analysis, competitive dynamics.
Part 3: The Art of Problem Solving
  • Learn three master approaches to tackle any case, then adapt to client-specific contexts.
  • Structure on the fly and pivot smoothly under pressure.
  • Practice advanced multi-exhibit cases with layered data and charts.
  • Build the art of connecting insights into a coherent client story.
Part 4: Deliver Stories Like a Pro (PEI Mastery)
  • Recognize that PEI / fit interviews are equally important as cases.
  • Learn how to frame stories for maximum impact using structured methods (STAR, CONS).
  • Access a library of anonymized PEI recordings from prior students as real examples.
  • Receive feedback on content, delivery, and authenticity to stand out in final rounds.
Part 5: Cement & Refine
  • Run full-length mock interviews simulating MBB style (case + PEI combined).
  • Do targeted drills to polish weak areas identified earlier.
  • Refine communication, synthesis, and confidence — the finishing touches before real interviews.
Extras:
  • Access to my full case interview & problem-solving course with frameworks, drills, videos and real MBB cases
  • Opportunity to sample course materials before joining.
  • Continuous progress tracking + email feedback between sessions.
