S24E22: Ex-McKinsey Coach Says This Case Passes Round 1
Send us Fan Mail Divya spent 8 years at McKinsey. She sat down with Sanya, a senior at Penn, and ran a case with her, live. Divya told her afterward it would've passed a McKinsey Round 1. Listen to learn how Sanya did it – built her structure, worked the math, and landed on a recommendation. Then Divya breaks down what worked and what she'd tighten up.

S24E21: Why Consulting Demand Is Outpacing Every Firm's Hiring Plan
Send us Fan Mail Over half the firms in our latest consulting industry survey said demand is outpacing their ability to hire and deliver. Healthcare, energy, PE – the same story across the board. The bottleneck is capacity. Firms can't staff fast enough to keep up with the work already in their pipeline. And that reshapes the picture for mid-market firms getting squeezed from both sides and the candidates those firms are fighting over. We cover: Why buyers want the full economics of AI before...

S24E19: Why BCG Is Racing to Hire Forward Deployed Engineers
Send us Fan Mail BCG is racing to hire forward deployed engineers – and the application window closes September 17. This year's pay range for campus hires is $110,000 to $190,000, up from $110,000 to $160,000 last year. Same job, new title, $30,000 more at the top of the range. Big Tech has cut entry-level hiring by more than half since 2019, opening a window for BCG to hire AI talent it usually couldn't afford. That window won't stay open forever. But BCG isn't the only firm racing through i...

S24E18: Deloitte, PwC, and 4,500 Firms Can't Find Adobe Talent
Send us Fan Mail Deloitte, PwC, IBM, and 4,500 other companies use Adobe Experience Cloud products. And they can't find enough people who know how to implement them. Nick Hilton, Tyler Tu, and Brian Au from Adobe's Customer Experience Certifications team named the Adobe jobs they're struggling to fill: MarTech analysts, implementation consultants, solution architects. None of them require a technical degree – what they require is proof you can use the tools. That's what Adobe is puttin...

S24E17: 3 Weeks Before McKinsey and BCG – How Not to Burn Out
Send us Fan Mail Langston got callbacks from McKinsey and BCG. His first instinct: 10 hours a day of studying for three weeks straight, a fast route to burnout. He'd applied to MBB once before and gotten nothing. But this time, two interviews landed in his inbox. Katie walked him off the cramming ledge and built a plan around the time he actually had. Three weeks is enough – if you spend it right. Resources: If your interview is in 3 weeks (or 3 days), Black Belt builds your plan around the t...

S24E16: AI Took the Grunt Work – Consultants Are Getting Promoted Faster
Send us Fan Mail Paul Edwards has led more than 1,000 private equity deals. AI took the grunt work, and now Stax consultants are getting promoted faster. He leads the PE practice at Grant Thornton Stax. Inside the firm, that's 3 to 4 more projects a year for every consultant. But the one thing AI still can't do, he says, is teach curiosity. You either bring it or you don't. That's the exact bar Stax is judging this fall in the Case Competition World Cup Undergraduate Track – free to enter, te...

S24E15: McKinsey's Cases Are Interviewer-Led – Most Candidates Practice the Wrong Way
Send us Fan Mail Most consulting interviews let you drive the case. McKinsey doesn't. McKinsey is one of the only firms that runs interviewer-led cases – the interviewer leads the case, not you. So candidates who prep the way BCG or Bain expects walk in ready for the wrong format. And the case is only half your score – the PEI (Personal Experience Interview) is the other half. Ex-McKinsey coach Mark Di Giorgio breaks down why the interviewer-led format catches strong candidates off guard, how...
