After rigorous training on how to interview for the top-tier consulting firms, I ran over 140 case studies with peers to prepare myself and my peers for interviews. I am an incoming consultant for MBB and am able to help with both case study and behavioral interview preparation. I helped my coachees to land jobs at Bain, BCG, McKinsey, PwC, EYP, and more. I'm an expert networker and can help you curate a plan to approach your entire application and interview process, including working through an extended timeline to manage the process end-to-end.

My name is Ian Glennon and over the past 5 years I have coached 500+ candidates, run 4,000+ coaching sessions, trained consultants at major consultancies, and, ultimately, helped hundreds of candidates get their dream offer. I am the founder of Custom Case Coach and my mission is to offer the best interview prep for consulting candidates. I have combined my personal experience interviewing, my training at BCG, and my years of successfully coaching thousands of diverse candidates to create Custom Case Coach. This holistic program teaches candidates how to optimally approach casing, arming them with the preparation toolkit, mindset shifts, and customizable frameworks needed to tackle any case or interview they may encounter. While pursuing my MBA at NYU’s Stern School of Business, I passed interviews for all 8 of the consulting and tech firms at which I interviewed, ultimately deciding to work at BCG. Leveraging this experience, I have built a flexible, diverse arsenal of practical guides to help you prepare for your next career step. No matter where you are in the process or what background you have – I’ve got you covered!

Applied to MBB and worked as an intern, then full time at BCG. As a coach, my feedback will be constructive and will help you reach the next level. My style of coaching is more hands-on, experiential learning and I am big on giving useful feedback , examples, drills, and a customized casing library to help elevate your strengths and work on the areas you need improvement in. My clients have all expressed that they feel a significant improvement in their skills and that coaching has equipped them with all the tools and knowledge needed to crack a case.

I help people break into MBBs (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) and other top consulting firms. I was part of Bain's interview team and have 8+ years and 500+ hours of experience coaching applicants. Now, I coach full-time. 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 prep, resume/cover letter editing, networking guidance • Clients have broken into all the 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 top-quality asynchronous content on Leland+ (created by me and other coaches) to accelerate learning • I assign targeted exercises as homework to maintain momentum between sessions • I customize the process based on the candidate's timeline, target companies, and existing skills • I am available over email, phone, and the Leland platform for the duration of our work together and beyond • I give my clients cases from real interviews at Bain Some clients work with me for ~3-6 months while others reach out for support before a big interview. My system flexes to accommodate all candidate types.

I’ve cased with dozens of preparing interviewers who have gone on to receive offers at McKinsey, Bain & Co, Bain Capital, LEK Consulting, and others! I have received full time offers in Management Consulting, Private Equity, Growth Equity, Venture Capital, and AI operations. I also ran the BYU PE/VC association and have mentored 20+ individuals that have placed into PE/Growth/VC, both directly out of undergrad and after a 1-2 year analyst program in consulting or IB. Left consulting as the first US hire for a Y Combinator backed company to lead GTM Strategy, Sales and Implementation.

As a McKinsey interviewer for 2 years, I possess a deep understanding of what consulting firms look for in candidates, how the recruitment process works, and the common pitfalls that applicants often encounter. Throughout my career, I have primarily focused on working with banks and consumer-facing products, engaging in projects that encompass traditional consulting strategy as well as new product launches. This diverse exposure has allowed me to develop a comprehensive perspective on the industry, enabling me to guide aspiring consultants effectively. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have taken on the role of a mentor and coach for over 30 individuals navigating the management consulting interview process and beyond. I provide guidance not only on how to succeed in interviews but also on determining whether management consulting is the right fit for each individual. My coaching style is characterized by candor and directness, as I believe in providing honest feedback to foster growth and improvement. However, I also bring a human lens to my approach, valuing the importance of personal well-being and mental health alongside professional success. What sets me apart as a coach is my non-traditional background in visual arts, which initially made me believe that breaking into the consulting industry was an impossible feat. Despite initial setbacks, including interview mishaps and limited networking opportunities, I persevered and found success. As a strong introvert myself, I understand the challenges and doubts that aspiring consultants may face. My aim is to provide a relatable perspective and guidance, empowering individuals with strategies to thrive in the field while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. My recent experience in consulting ensures that I am up-to-date with the latest trends, particularly in the ever-evolving post-pandemic economic landscape.

As an ex-BCG Project Leader and Interviewer, I'm intimately familiar with the consulting interview process, spanning from case to behavioral interviews. I specialize in taking a "ground up" approach to building specific core consulting interview skills, then integrating them into a strong overall case interviewing muscle. My approach has garnered significant positive feedback and recognition, resulting in me being appointed the management consulting case prep lead at Wharton (for my MBA) and McCombs (for my undergrad). Through this experience, I have helped nearly 100 mentees with their case prep journeys. For my efforts, I was awarded the Career Mentorship award at Wharton. I am fortunate to still have strong contact with many of my mentees, nearly all of whom have gone on great careers at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Oliver Wyman, Deloitte, and Accenture (as well as other firms). Several of these mentees have gone on to achieve great post-consulting careers as well, ranging from Private Equity, to Tech Product Management, to Corporate Strategy I break down my feedback on each case interview into 5 areas, and give detailed, actionable feedback on each: Clarification, Frameworking, Quantitative Analysis, Qualitative Analysis, and Synthesis. This approach has been strongly validated by mentees and resulted in offers across all top firms. My foundations-first approach has led to being named a Leland Top 50 coach in my first year on the platform.
