About Nida
Hi, I'm Nida -- I'm happy to help you break into the consulting world or prepare your application for top graduate schools. Consulting: I successfully recruited at Bain and McKinsey (as well as other non-MBB firms), and spent several years in consulting in Bain's New York office. There, I reviewed resumes as part of Bain's Associate Consultant recruiting process and have six years of experience coaching candidates (through the initial preparation, resume review, case interview, and decision-making processes). I've run hundreds of mock case interviews, and I pride myself on providing detailed, actionable feedback. Applications: My educational experience includes a Harvard BA, Wharton MBA, and Oxford MPP. I've been coaching college applicants on-and-off for the past decade, and I worked briefly with the Harvard admissions office. Beyond my own successful experience applying to MBA programs, I conducted admissions interviews for the Wharton MBA program, evaluating 60+ Wharton applicants as an employee of the admissions office.
Why do I coach?
I've been through these processes -- they can be opaque, stressful, and confusing. I benefitted from lots of guidance from more experienced mentors, and I hope to be able to ease the journey for others as well.
