Hello, I'm Udayan, a former McKinsey consultant with over six years of tenure at the firm. My consulting journey has been rooted in a deep understanding of the rigorous and demanding nature of the interview processes at top-tier management consulting firms, especially McKinsey.

Having navigated the highly competitive environment of McKinsey's New York office, I specialize in coaching aspiring consultants to break into firms like McKinsey, BCG, and Bain as well as strategy roles at top companies across industries. Over the last decade, I've successfully mentored over 200 candidates globally, helping them not only to get offers but also to excel in their consulting careers.

What I Bring to You:

  • Expertise in Interview Preparation: My coaching framework is built on real-world insights and effective strategies tailored to the interviewer-led case process at McKinsey. I offer comprehensive sessions covering case interviews, the Personal Experience Interview (PEI), and essential drills on weak areas such as structuring and data analysis.
  • Personalized Coaching Method: I believe in a personalized approach as no two candidates are the same. My sessions are custom-tailored to identify and strengthen your unique areas of improvement. I utilize detailed feedback mechanisms and structured practice regimens to ensure you understand your strengths and pinpoint exactly how to leverage them during your interviews.
  • Ongoing Support and Guidance: My commitment to your consulting success extends beyond our scheduled sessions. I provide continuous support and last-minute tips to ensure you're fully prepared and confident. With access to a wide range of resources and my personal network, I facilitate all facets of your interview preparation, including networking strategies and detailed resume critiques.

Why Work With Me?

With a proven track record and a personal investment in the success of each mentee, I am dedicated to your development and success in the consulting world. My approach is straightforward and results-oriented, focusing on practical skills and deep insights into the interview dynamics of top consulting firms.

I am here to coach, motivate, and guide you through this challenging journey with personalized advice and support tailored to your unique profile and career aspirations.

Leveraging twelve years of recruiting experience, I provide tailored interview coaching to help you excel in management consulting interviews. My method combines intensive case practice with strategic preparation for the Personal Experience Interview (PEI), enriched by targeted skills drills:

  1. Case Interview Mastery: Simulate real interviews with full cases, receive detailed feedback, and learn essential problem-solving techniques.
  2. PEI Optimization: Craft compelling narratives from your personal experiences to showcase your achievements and fit for the role.
  3. Skills Enhancement: Strengthen critical skills through targeted drills on structuring, data analysis, and creative thinking.

Additional Support:

  • Effective Networking: Gain insider strategies for networking and securing referrals.
  • Document Refinement: Enhance your resume and cover letter to make a powerful first impression.

My approach is designed to build your confidence and sharpen your skills, ensuring you’re fully prepared to land an offer from top consulting firms.
