About Me: A Journey from Aspiring Consultant to Seasoned Interviewer & Coach
My journey in consulting commenced with a pivotal internship at BCG during my undergraduate studies at WHU, after the 4th Bachelor semester (sophomore year). Although I initially deferred the offer from my internship, I successfully navigated the rigorous consulting application process a second time, securing offers from both BCG and Bain. Opting for BCG, I declined my McKinsey interview and swiftly progressed from Associate to Consultant within a year (fast track). My commitment soon extended beyond project work, as I actively engaged in interviewing, training, and coaching.
Invaluable Insights from 200+ BCG Interviews
With over 200 BCG interviews under my belt, spanning case interviews and mock sessions as a Case Coach for BCG Recruiting, I bring a wealth of experience to the table. As BCG Case Coach, I helped 20+ candidates successfully land an offer at BCG Germany (over 70% of the candidates I have had multiple coaching sessions with received a BCG offer). My role extended to conducting interviews in Germany and the UK (1st and 2nd round, including lateral hires), conducting case interview workshops, mentoring at recruiting events, and training new interviewers through interviews shadowing. This breadth of experience has cultivated an exceptional expertise in calibrating and analyzing case interviews.
Experienced Coach: Bringing coaching and teaching skills to the table
In addition to my consulting background, I am a dedicated coach with 170+ hours of (internally) coaching and training hundreds of BCG associates. I am a certified professional coach trained Brown University (8 months course). This extensive training enables me to facilitate deeper discussions with coachees, delving into the nuances of how their responses resonate with interviewers and guiding them toward genuine improvement. It gives me an edge in preparing candidates to impress interviewers with the kind of skills they would expect to see in experienced consultants.
