S23E18: 5 Candidates Share What Actually Got Them MBB Offers
Send us Fan Mail 5 people just landed offers at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Deloitte, and L.E.K. We got them all in one room and asked them the same question: what actually worked? The real stuff – how many cases they did, how they networked, what they wish they'd done differently, and the misconceptions that almost cost them. Aisha did 50 cases her first recruiting cycle and didn't get the offer. She did 25 the second time and got it. That contrast says more than any framework guide will. You'll le...

S23E17: Ex-Bain Interviewer Shares What Gets You Hired at Bain
Send us Fan Mail Mitali Jalan was told she couldn't break into consulting as a chartered accountant. She was told it was unlikely she'd land Bain as an international MBA student. She got the offers anyway, working at Deloitte and Bain and sat on the other side of the table as a Bain interviewer. She's coached over 350 candidates and knows where people lose the offer. The thing she kept seeing? Candidates who spent weeks on case prep, walked in technically ready, and still didn't get it....

S23E16: Ex-Bain SM: What AI Is Disrupting in Consulting (and What It Can't)
Send us Fan Mail Every week we hear the same question from candidates: is AI going to gut consulting before I can break in? Short answer: no. Longer answer: the model is changing fast, and you need to know what's shifting and what isn't. Arda Ecevit spent 13+ years at Deloitte, Strategy&, and Bain (Senior Manager) before co-founding NexStrat AI. He sat down with Namaan to talk about what AI is doing to consulting – and the parts of the job it can't touch. You'll learn: What AI is taking o...

S23E15: He Quit His Job to Break Into Consulting
Send us Fan Mail Walter applied to consulting out of undergrad and didn't get an offer. Went into investment banking, got another shot a year and a half later, and still wasn't ready – too busy, not focused enough, cramming at the last minute. So he quit his job to recruit full time. That's an extreme version of the lesson, but the lesson applies to anyone working full time while trying to break in: you have less time than you think. Consulting firms aren't running a six-month hiring cy...

S23E14: Ex-BCG Principal: Why 22 Cases Beat 100 (And What Actually Gets Offers)
Send us Fan Mail BCG interviews typically start 3–4 weeks after the application deadline – and deadlines are here. Tauseef Charanya spent 10 years at BCG – half consulting, half building AI products globally. He's done 300+ interviews and has seen strong candidates miss offers for the same reasons, over and over. In this episode, he breaks down the 3 mistakes that hurt otherwise solid BCG candidates, why doing more cases without feedback makes you worse, and the 4-step system that gets ...

S23E11: 400 Bain Resumes Reviewed – 3 Mistakes She Saw Every Time
Send us Fan Mail Maile Dyer reviewed 400+ resumes as a Bain Manager. She was on the recruiting team, making the decisions on who got interviews. And she kept seeing the same 3 mistakes: structure, content, and formatting. Most candidates miss at least one. A lot of them miss all 3 — and they never find out why they never heard back. In this episode, Maile breaks down each mistake and tells you exactly how to fix it. Katie Neff joins to tie it back to your full recruiting strategy. You'll lear...
