About Christina
- Recognized as 2024 Top 50 Coach on Leland - I’ve interviewed and mentored over 150+ candidates globally since 2017 when I started as a Business Analyst at McKinsey. Since joining Leland, I've helped numerous clients interview and get offers from MBB and other top consulting firms. I know what it takes to stand out. Let’s craft your winning strategy and get you there! Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@christinabae93?_t=8qov13C91oc&_r=1
Why do I coach?
I landed my McKinsey offer with just two weeks of focused prep, and I’m eager to share my strategies, insights, and a mindset shift that can help you succeed in your interviews. During my recruiting journey, I faced hurdles like visa sponsorship, a non-traditional background, and being new to case interviews. I know interview prep can be stressful, and I'm here to help you.
