What does my coaching look like?

(EXAMPLE) SESSION 1: Diagnostic and preparation planning

We start with an introduction and understanding of your case experience, goals, objectives, and ambitions (if we had no initial screening call)
We simulate a real Case Interview (McKinsey: Problem Solving Interview) using a real firm-specific case, following official interviewer guidelines
The case will either be candidate-led or interviewer-led, depending on the firms you are applying for
The case is longer than what you have to expect during your initial interview so that you have more practice opportunities and I can collect more observation points
I provide feedback on your performance based on the real MBB evaluation metrics and scoring sheet
I introduce you to my universal case approach method discussing the right steps and habits for each part and question of the case, the content creation techniques to come up with strong frameworks and brainstorming answers, insightful exhibit interpretations, and effective approaches to quantitative questions, as well as the key communication phrases and strategies
Comparing your performance with the best practice approach and answers and identifying the most effective levers, I show you how to improve across all areas to go from development need to a good performance and from a good performance to a distinctive performance
Based on your performance, we jointly work on a preparation plan and discuss the most effective exercises and homework you can do on your own to work on focus areas and improve quickly
Before we end the session, I want to make sure that all your questions are answered, you have all the tools you need, and you have a clear plan about how to move forward
After the session, you receive a 6-9 page Excel document that incorporates my detailed feedback and interviewer notes in written form, the scoring sheet of your performance, alternative math approaches, curated articles on your development needs, further resources, and almost 1000 practice cases
After the first session, I connect you with my client network to practice high-quality cases with high-quality case partners

We simulate another real Case Interview using a different and creative real top-tier case, following official interviewer guidelines
The case is selected based on your initial case performance and comes with new twists and turns

(EXAMPLE) SESSION 4: PEI/Fit Mastery

We follow up on our last session to discuss your questions that came up since then
For McKinsey: You need to prepare three stories, one for each dimension (Inclusive Leadership, Personal Impact, and depending on the office either Entrepreneurial Drive or Courageous Change) based on my guidelines and the videos of the McKinsey Interview Academy that I shared at the beginning of the program. We then simulate the real PEI interview, starting with your first story, discussing potential starting questions and probing questions, following the real interviewer guidelines. After every story, we discuss detailed feedback to improve your structure, content, and delivery to make sure you hit all points on the interviewers’ scorecards. We repeat the process with your other two stories. You receive a 3-page PEI template that you can use for every PEI story going forward with a focus on content, structure, and communication. You leave this session with three polished PEI stories that you can use as templates for your other stories
For other firms: We simulate a real fit interview with more general fit questions (tailored to each firm). I have a repertoire of 150+ different fit questions and strong sample answers that will prepare you for any given challenge. The focus also here is on content, communication, and structure of your answers.

For the mock interview, we run a real end-to-end interview situation including the icebreaker questions, one fit/PEI interview, one case interview, and finally your questions to ask the interviewer at the end
We discuss a winning interview mindset, the dress code, and any other practical advice that should help you get the last 5% of performance out on your big interview day
Before we end the session, I want to make sure that all your questions are answered, you feel fully ready for the upcoming interviews, and have a clear plan about what to do the last few hours or days before the interviews
You receive a detailed Excel document that incorporates my detailed feedback and interviewer notes in written form again

Any Open Questions Left? Check Out Our FAQ

Should I just go ahead and book a session?

You can do that, but I want to make sure that you get the best value out of it for your situation, hence, I would always be happy to set up a free consultation and introduction call before our first meeting to align on goals and get to know each other.

What distinguishes you from other case coaches?

I don't see myself as a case coach. When I started coaching seriously in 2020, I developed a completely new approach to case interviews that is completely different from the old and outdated advice from the most famous resources. I teach my clients how to think and communicate like a consultant, not just like another case interviewee. Your interviewers will see you as an equal problem solver and storyteller. In fact, this new approach was so successful that many other coaches reached out to me and purchased my case prep products to learn about it.

Do you coach for all firms?

Yes, although I have a McKinsey background, the approach that I developed works for all firms in an equal manner, and candidates who get a McKinsey offer and target other firms as well usually also get other offers as well.

Is there anything else that I should know?

I understand that coaching represents a significant investment of your valuable time and resources. On top of that, I am aware of the responsibility I have with regard to your successful consulting applications and the trust you need to place in a coach for that matter. Hence, please reach out to me with your questions via DM so we can set up an introduction call to answer all your questions and discuss a potential plan.

Florian is an absolute wizard at getting candidates ready for MBB and other top firms. He completely transformed how I approach cases and by the 2nd/3rd session, there was no case where I felt uncomfortable tackling.

Sessions with Florian are amazing for so many reasons:
1. He is extremely attentive and gives you very detailed and highly actionable feedback based on real evaluation criteria in the form of a multi-page Google Sheet. It's always super helpful going through the feedback sheet after our sessions to really internalise his feedback. The sheet even contains examples of how you should approach the exact math questions in the case as well as links to a throve of resources which you can use to practice for free.

2. His coaching is focused on building up the right habits so that you come across as confident and always in control of the case, regardless of what is asked. It will take multiple sessions with peers to truly internalise these habits, but it will undoubtedly be worth it! I have improved tremendously between sessions and now feel comfortable with whatever challenge interviewers throw at me.

3. The cases Florian uses are very well-designed. Having been through MBB interviews now, I can see how close they are to the real thing. They are quite difficult and contain many traps and nuances, which is extremely beneficial as you will make mistakes and learn how to avoid them in the future.

4. Florian goes above and beyond to help you succeed. He regularly spends additional time with me to make sure I knew exactly how I performed and what I could do better. In fact, 3 of our sessions extended up to an extra 30 minutes. Furthermore, he's always one message/email away outside of sessions whenever you have any questions or doubts. His replies have always been very detailed/insightful (I remember asking him a frameworking question and he replied with a super detailed 300-word email!), and you can tell he really cares.

5. The materials he created (drills, guides, and his book) are the BEST in the industry and will help turbo charge your prep outside of your sessions with him. The materials are the closest to MBB-quality I have seen and have really helped me internalise the habits taught/learn new nuances.

6. Florian connects you with his network of mentees after your session for highly-effective preparation. One of the main pain points of prepping for top firms is that more often than not, the candidates you meet are unprepared or do not know what good looks like. With Florian's network, you can be sure you are casing with prepared candidates who have been trained by the best in the business.

Overall, booking sessions with Florian are 100% worth it. Regardless of where you are in your casing journey or what firm you are targeting, learning from Florian is transformational!

I got an offer!!! Florian has been really helpful for this achievement. He explains in detail each part of the case and tells you what you have to improve and some ideas of how you can do it. I recommend Florian to anyone who wants someone to rock their interview

Update: I got the offer and can definitely attribute my success to Florian's coaching. All the below still stands true, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to break into MBB.

I'm still going through the interview process so I can't speak to end results yet, but after having gone through the McKinsey Rocket program with Florian, I successfully passed my first round.

I can categorize Florian's coaching into 3 key areas:

1. Case Prep
Florian is really a natural teacher. I've heard from people in business school that they had to do 50+ cases to become comfortable before their case interviews. I did 4 sessions with Florian, having never done a case before, and came away probably 95% prepared. I learned the foundation, things to focus on, and a bunch of tricks to lookout for. Florian gives very robust cases that are also different so you can cover a lot in 4 cases. Getting 95% prepared from just 4 is incredible efficiency especially for those who don't have an entire school consulting club network to help prepare.

2. PEI Prep
In addition he helps prep for the PEI which is a commonly overlooked part of the interview process. He provides a lot of insight into it and what you need to do to be successful. This is super helpful as most people only focus on the casing and there are limited online resources for PEI prep.

3. Investment in each candidate
And lastly I could tell Florian treats his coaching not just as a business but as a true commitment to each candidate. He genuinely cares about his clients' success. He was constantly checking in to see how my prep was going and even offering his time to review questions or documents I had free of charge outside of sessions. He is very patient and doesn't hard cut sessions at an hour but rather when he feels that everything has been covered.

I can't recommend Florian enough and everyone who is preparing for McKinsey should definitely give him a shot. It's well worth it.
