Hi All - I am Nilay Bhatnagar, a former McKinsey Engagement Manager (2015-2021) and an ex-Amazon Senior Product Manager (2013-2015). During my time at McKinsey I worked at New Jersey and Sydney offices. I specialized in Pharma and Digital (Data) strategy work at the Firm. I was interview trained at McKinsey and during my time there conducted 100+ interviews and 500+ case coaching sessions.
My philosophy on cracking MBB interviews can be summarized by the following NAVY SEAL saying
"Under pressure, you don't rise to the occasion, you sink to the level of your training."

+ C Chonardo (Experienced hire, double offer BCG/McKinsey, Jakarta, Business Analyst)
“Nilay was definitely one of the most helpful coaches I've worked with. I landed a Mckinsey and BCG offer thanks to his guidance and advise. Definitely couldn't have gotten the consulting offers without Nilay. Thanks so much Nilay!”
+ E Yang (Junior Undergrad, McKinsey, San Francisco, summer intern)
“Just heard back and received an offer from McKinsey!! Could not have done this without Nilay's help. He was my main source of preparation throughout the process, and his detailed and knowledgeable feedback for every case we did was super helpful for my improvement. I was preparing on a very short timeline, and definitely could not have made the jumps in case performance every time without Nilay's help”
