I am an exBCG consultant (worked for 4 years at a major East Coast office), with substantial interview experience. While interviewing, I also received an offer from Bain. I have given 100s of practice and real interviews, mastering the skills and tactics to interview at 99% level. Most importantly, having been at an MBB, I understand how interview assessments are made and what specific skills are being tested for (and how to subtly show them off). My practice interview "students" have secured offers from all MBB firms (McKinsey, BCG, and Bain) and other top consulting firms (e.g. Deloitte, Accenture, etc.).
I applied off-cycle and had to master the case interview format through over-preparation, as it was my only way to secure a spot in one of the top firms. I can help you:
- Be hypothesis driven without sounding robotic
- Communicate concisely and succinctly, putting your hiring manager at ease that you will fit into an MBB environment
- Demonstrate that you can be creative, but in a structured way
- Solve a-typical and unorthodox cases using "key principles of thinking" vs. relying on preparing for specific case-types
- Show client readiness
- Prepare for behavioral interviews in a way that shows off excellent communication skills and structured thinking (which is really the heart of these interviews)
In general, having done this for so long and given so many interviews, I can provide tons of tips to make you MBB ready.
