If you’re interviewing for consulting or want to learn more about consulting-style cases, our class is engineered to demonstrate what live McKinsey & Bain cases look like in real time. We'll help you differentiate between two distinct interviewing styles and apply best practices for building a long-term case preparation toolkit. Ben (ex-McKinsey) and Jeremy (ex-Bain) interviewed candidates in exactly your shoes and will provide key insights, strategies, and tactics to navigate what can feel like a complex, layered process. With interview training and hiring experience, we understand exactly what these firms (and consulting firms in general) are looking for, and what will help you stand out from thousands of other applicants. Sign up below and join us for an hour to see what best-in-class case practice looks like, and reach out for an opportunity to work with either of us 1:1. Our hope is that our class can serve as a kickstarter for you in the casing process, or help you fine-tune the practice you've been doing to date. We'll give you the tools and practical know-how to take your prep to the next level and help you show up on interview day.

Jeremy has helped clients get into these companies:
I was part of Bain's interview team and know exactly what it takes to break into the MBBs (Bain, McKinsey, BCG) and other top consulting firms. I coach full-time, and have 8+ years and 500+ hours of experience guiding applicants. Here are a few other things you should know about me: • Former member of Bain's on campus interview team — interviewed 60+ candidates and read 400+ applications • Specialize in helping my clients master the case interview — the most critical and difficult part of the process • Additional specialties — behavioral interview, resume/cover letter, networking (in other words, I support candidates throughout the entire recruitment process!) • Clients have broken into all MBBs and other major consulting firms — Bain, BCG, McKinsey, ZS Associates, LEK, etc. • Education — MIT Sloan MBA (Class of 2021), Washington University in St. Louis (Class of 2016) I'm a full "partner" to my clients and our prep includes more than just live sessions: • I leverage asynchronous video content on Leland Plus so clients can learn key case concepts between sessions — this allows us to use our sessions for live case practice and drilling on exactly the areas that need work • I assign targeted exercises so clients can practice key concepts outside sessions • I share study guides for all major aspects of the case (e.g., market sizing, frameworks, case math, brainstorming) and behavioral interviews • I customize the process based on the candidate's timeline, target companies, previous case experience, and existing skills — no two candidates are treated the same • I am available over email, phone, and the Leland platform for the duration of our work together and beyond My style is direct, honest, deeply supportive, and I love to laugh too! The prep process shouldn't be a slog, but I make sure we're using every minute as intentionally as possible. Some clients work with me for ~3+ months while others reach out before a big interview. My system flexes to accommodate all candidate types. I'd love to explore how I can be there to support you!
