The complete consulting interview
prep program, lesson by lesson

Start here. Twenty-three minutes on what happens to your application between the moment you hit send and the moment a human sees it, and why most candidates never make it that far.

The visual guide to step 1: every bullet of your CV rewritten as an outcome, the three paragraphs of a cover letter that lands, and how referral timing actually works.

One page, printable. The CV rules, the cover letter structure, the networking sequence and the six things that get an application binned.

A printable tracker for the part of step 1 that people improvise: who you spoke to, at which firm and office, what stage you are at, and when the referral needs to land.

Thirty real CV lines. You judge each one, then see why.

Twenty minutes on the full path: application, screening test, case rounds, FIT, final. What each stage is really filtering for, and why the order matters.

The visual companion to the process: the funnel and where candidates fall out, who is who across MBB, Tier 2 and Big 4, the career path decoded, and the straight answers to the questions everyone asks.

Every FlashTip collected in one document, ordered by the seven steps instead of by the day they were sent.

Twenty-five minutes on framing: why one candidate in four builds an original tree and the other three recite, and what the interviewer is actually watching during your silence.

The method in visual form: listen, clarify, think, hypothesize, structure. The four frameworks with their triggers, market sizing, and the six things that kill a framing.

One page: the six steps of the opening, the MECE test, the four frameworks with when to use each and what not to do, market sizing, the red flags and the fifteen industries.

The full method: hypothesis generation, issue tree design, which framework and when, a worked example end to end, market sizing, and fifteen industries with their value drivers.

Twenty-five fresh openings across every case type. Prompt on one slide, hints on the next.

Twenty binary calls across fifteen industries: pharma, airlines, retail, banking, telecom and the rest. Which one has the higher margin? Which one is capital intensive?

Twenty-four minutes on the screening test: why it exists, what it actually measures, and why strong candidates fail it.

McKinsey Solve, BCG Casey, Bain SOVA and TestGorilla, L.E.K., Kearney, Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger, Deloitte. What each one looks like in 2026, question type by question type.

One page for the morning of the test. The four question types and how to attack each, negative marking firm by firm, data sufficiency, the fractions you should know cold, the Rule of 72, and how to budget the clock.

The full workbook: 12 business-case questions, 30 data insights, 20 critical reasoning and 90 GMAT-style quant, all with clear explanations.

Mocks of 9+ firms, three independent ones each, every one built to its firm's real format, real timing and real marking, including negative marking where the firm uses it.

The same question types, generated fresh every time you click, with immediate marking. It is one of the three tools that build new series instead of reshuffling a fixed bank.

Twenty minutes on the four acts of a case: open, structure, drive, close. What the interviewer is scoring in each one, and where the decision usually gets made.

The map of a case from the opening question to the final recommendation. Hypothesis first, ask selectively, interrogate every number, synthesize at the turns.

One page: driving the case, reading an exhibit in four moves, the four exhibit types and their traps, the thirty-second close, the red flags that end a case, and the four acts.

Twelve situations. In each one you are given the case and a menu of data you could ask for. You pick, then you find out what the good candidates asked and why.

Frame, trend, benchmark, so-what. The four moves, applied to the five chart families you will actually meet, plus the traps in each.

Eight real exhibits. You write your so-what, commit it, and then see the one the case was built around.

Twenty-two minutes on the mistakes that earn a no, told from the other side of the table and in the order they happen during a case.

Structure, driving, math, exhibits, closing. The six flags that cost most, the number one reason for a no, and the one sentence that fixes denial when a number contradicts you.

Twelve fragments of candidate reasoning, each with something wrong in it. You find it.

How to recommend instead of summarize. Answer first, three reasons, the risk, the next step, in thirty to forty-five seconds.

Twelve cases, each with several possible closes. You pick the strongest and see why it wins.

Twenty original cases across every type and industry, each with a prompt, exhibits to request, an interviewer guide, insights after each step and a complete solution with the logic laid out.

Twenty-one minutes on why the FIT decides more offers than people think, and what separates a story that survives the third follow-up from one that collapses on the second.

The full playbook: the two blocks, the eight categories of question, the fourteen skills firms evaluate, and CORAR, the structure that carries a story from context to result.

One page: CORAR, the eight categories, the fourteen skills, and the traps that turn a good story into a flat one.

Seven complete sets, one per story. Each set takes you through CORAR, a tighter rewrite, a one-line summary you can actually memorize, and a peer review page.

Eighty-five behavioral questions across both blocks, the eight categories interviewers use, the fourteen skills they score, and fifty-plus questions mapped to them.

Hundreds of FIT questions, drawn at random across the eight categories and the fourteen skills.

Twenty minutes on why the math costs cases: not the arithmetic, but doing it out loud while someone watches and the clock runs.

The techniques: addition left to right, subtraction by counting up, the multiplication moves that cover most of what you meet, division by factoring, percentages built from blocks, the Rule of 72 and market sizing.

One page: the four operations with their shortcuts, the fraction to percentage table, growth, estimation and the habits that make math look easy from the outside.

Sixty sessions that get harder every ten. Fifty-six mental math reps and eight on-paper problems per session, with benchmark times to beat and answer keys every two sessions.

The book, automated. Pick mental or on paper, pick a level from one to six, and it builds a new session every time.

Eight pages on the part no course usually covers. What to do with the time you have left, whether that is a week or one evening. How to arrive. The five habits that carry a whole interview and that people drop in the first two minutes under pressure.

The complete framing method, in Spanish: hypothesis generation, issue tree design, the four frameworks and when to use each, market sizing and fifteen industries with their value drivers.

Eighty-five behavioral questions, the eight categories interviewers use and the fourteen skills they score, with more than fifty questions mapped to them.

Sixty progressive sessions with more than 4,000 drills. Fifty-six mental math reps and eight on-paper problems per session, with target times and solutions every two sessions.

Every FlashTip collected and ordered by the seven steps, instead of by the day they were sent.
