I have been with BCG since 2022 and was promoted to Consultant in 2024. Prior to joining BCG, I gained significant experience preparing for and applying to interviews with top consulting firms, including McKinsey, Bain, BCG, LEK, Deloitte, and others. This journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in the highly competitive consulting recruitment process. Over the years, I have successfully coached several candidates to excel in case interviews, build strong networks, and adopt a strategic approach to breaking into management consulting. I believe the keys to success are the following: (1) Practice – Casing is a skill that requires consistent practice, repetition, and the ability to recognize patterns. Building this muscle is essential. (2) Readiness to Learn – Coachability, diligence, and enthusiasm are traits that help candidates stand out and demonstrate their potential. (3) Grit – The candidates who secure offers are those who maintain focus and resilience, navigating both setbacks and wins with determination and mental toughness.
