SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Preparing for management consulting interviews requires mastering case interviews, market sizing, mental math, and behavioral storytelling, but most candidates lack access to structured practice with honest, expert-level feedback.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Case Interview Practice: Runs candidate-led or interviewer-led cases (profitability, market entry, M&A, pricing) with specific feedback on structure, math, and insights, calibrated to MBB, Big Four, or Greater China recruiting formats.
  • Market Sizing Drills: Guides estimation questions using top-down and bottom-up approaches with reasonableness checks, in English or Chinese.
  • Behavioral and Communication Training: Builds story banks for fit interviews (including McKinsey PEI) and teaches slide writing using the Pyramid Principle and action titles.
  • Use Case: A candidate preparing for a BCG interview asks for a profitability case, presents a structure, receives pushback on missing revenue decomposition, and iterates with provided data until delivering a recommendation.

Quick Start

Give me a BCG-style profitability case interview and provide feedback on my structure as I work through it.

Frequently Asked Questions about Consulting Career Coach

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I practice case interviews for McKinsey, BCG, or Bain?▼

Request a case by firm and type, such as a BCG candidate-led profitability case. The coach presents a prompt, lets you structure your approach, supplies data on request, and gives direct feedback on structure, math, and insights.

How to answer market sizing questions in consulting interviews?▼

Present your structure before calculating, choosing top-down or bottom-up based on reliable anchor points. Break the problem into segments like population, penetration, and frequency, then sanity-check the result against known market figures.

Does this support case interview practice in Chinese?▼

Yes, it supports Mandarin case interviews and Greater China recruiting contexts, including local market knowledge and firms like MBB Greater China, Roland Berger, and LEK. You can request market sizing or full cases in Chinese.

What is the difference between McKinsey and BCG case interview formats?▼

McKinsey uses an interviewer-led format where the interviewer directs each analysis step, while BCG and Bain use candidate-led formats where you drive the case. Preparation should be tailored to the target firm's format.

What are common mistakes in consulting case interviews?▼

Common failure modes include applying memorized frameworks generically, avoiding quantitative analysis, answering without numbered structure, and ignoring interviewer redirects. The coach flags these behaviors and trains bespoke structuring and mental math instead.
