I worked in management consulting for five years across a variety of roles - as a Business Analyst, Engagement Manager, and in the office of the CEO at McKinsey & Company. I was also able to do a secondment at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for a year. At McKinsey, I was a Faculty member who led first and second-year analyst trainings and conducted hundreds of hours of interview coaching. And in college at the University of Michigan, I peer coached dozens of students to offers at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Accenture, Strategy&, and Deloitte.

Hi! I graduated from Duke University in 2019 with degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science. I received full-time offers from McKinsey, BCG, and Bain, and worked at Bain for 2.5 years before transitioning to product / start-up work. At Bain I was involved in recruitment, focusing on Duke students and cross-offer applicants. I specialize in helping clients master the case interview, which is often the most critical and challenging part of the application process. However, my services are comprehensive and include behavioral interview prep, resume / cover letter editing, transition to product / tech, and more. If you're looking to break into the world of management consulting, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and discuss how I can support you in reaching your career goals!

I have over 12 years of senior level leadership experience in the consulting industry across all the top tier firms in their respective spaces. - Strategy (Boston Consulting Group, Accenture Strategy, PwC Strategy &) - Digital (BCG Digital Ventures, Razorfish) - AEC / Green/ Sustainability (confidential CEO-level clients) I have led interviewing at MBA programs (Stanford, Kellogg, UC Berkeley) and integration of new consulting cohorts. Management Consulting is continuing to transform at an incredible pace. The old business models and staffing models that drove career growth are no longer relevant. The confluence of new skills, capabilities and cultures in management consulting firms is both a source of new opportunities and risks (for those that may be under-prepared).

I've built a strong playbook of exactly what a student needs to do to maximize their chance to land MBB offers, and I want to mold that framework to fit your timeline and needs. Following my BCG internship, I was the president of the management consulting club at Brigham Young University. I spent hundreds of hours coaching and casing, and I helped many students change their entire resume and qualify for interviews and offers at top consulting firms.

Welcome to my profile! I'm Hailey Blain, an MBA Candidate at Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management and a former Senior Research Manager at EAB. With my experience interviewing successfully for MBB firms this year, I have a deep understanding of the industry and how to succeed in consulting recruitment with a very recent lens. I also have experience in coaching and teaching, which has honed my ability to draw on your strengths to help you succeed. If you're looking for a coach who can help you master the case interview and navigate the management consulting application process, I'm here to help. Let's connect and discuss how I can support you in reaching your career goals!

I spent 7 years at BCG, from Associate to Project Leader. For 5 years I was also first Recruiting Coach and then Interviewer, having coached and interviewed 100+ applicants for Associate & Consultant positions. I did my MBA degree at INSEAD, during which I coached 50+ of my co-students who were trying to get into Consulting. Finally, after leaving consulting, I also intensively coached my wife who as a result got offers from McKinsey, BCG and Bain.

Have you ever wondered what "buckets" to include in a case framework? Or what to put in each bucket? Or even how structure an ambiguous case? This can all be combated with strengthening your business knowledge! I never teach clients to simply "memorize & reuse" frameworks because that will not help you stand out in the interview. I teach all my clients the business knowledge needed to do well in case interviews and then how to execute crushing the case. The focus through our sessions will be centered around strengthening your skills as a problem solver and making you so confident in your abilities that you become excited for your interviews knowing that you are ready for anything that comes your way.
