Recent experience with both the Bain & Co. internship application process and pre-internship programs application process -- I was part of Bain's first CREW cohort! With more than two years of experience in five different internship roles across tech and consulting, I understand what big firms look for when recruiting undergraduate students. Having completed an internship with Bain & Co. summer 2024 and received a full-time offer, I can speak to the management consulting internship experience and help others learn how to get an MBB internship and make the most of their experience. Past roles in product management, data analytics, technical consulting, marketing, and entrepreneurship enable me to take a multidisciplinary approach to career conversations.

Hi! I graduated from Duke University in 2019 with degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science.

I have extensive interviewing experience, including giving cases, from throughout my professional career. These include MBA admissions interviews, MBB consulting interviews, and behavioral interviews in a variety of forms. I have also given countless mock interviews and have experience giving very detailed, nuanced feedback and tips to help candidates find immediate growth opportunities. More specifically, prior to Booth, I interviewed >100 of people during my time at Cornerstone Research, where I ended my time as the Head of Recruiting for the Boston office for the 2015 season. While at Booth, I conducted MBA Admissions interviews for applicants. With respect to management consulting, I was selected as a BCG MBA fellow prior to starting at Booth and successfully navigated the summer internship recruiting process to be a Bain Summer Associate. Since then, I have given numerous live interviews on behalf of Bain as well as helped countless students while at Booth and at Bain learn how to case successfully. I am really excited to start working with more prospective MBA applicants and management consultants navigate the interview process. From helping to craft behavioral interview answers to learning case frameworks to running practice cases, I am excited to work with you to address your particular needs and feedback areas.

What's up, I'm John Kreider! I'm a first generation college student and former Senior Associate Consultant at Bain & Company. I have personally done over 100 cases and given hundred more, helping dozens of students get offers at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. I've also gotten others hired from industry, which is an uncommon strength. I was a part of Bain's recruiting team and started 1GEN at Bain (now called "First at Bain"), the affinity group for first generation college students/those from low-income backgrounds (FGLI). My biggest value is that I go beyond case interview prep and instead focus on how to 1) get the interview, 2) nail the soft skills, and 3) case interview perfectly.

My coaching is designed to demystify the case interview process and equip you with the tools to stand out in the competitive consulting world.
