Do you know precisely where you need to improve to get your offer?

Have you ever felt like friends and coaches don’t ultimately tell you the truth?

Can you confidently list all the criteria needed for each part of the interview?

I’ve been there. I lived through it, and I’ve trained countless candidates to succeed. The feedback I often hear is, “You were the only one who told me the right path; I will thank you forever!”

My name is Jose da Silva, and I’m here to make sure you know exactly what to focus on to turn your MBB dream into reality.

  • As a former McKinsey consultant, I’ve gone through the interview process and seen firsthand what it takes to stand out.
  • I don’t just give you tips — I provide the honest truth and detailed feedback that no one else will.

I’m committed to showing you where you need to improve, how to master problem-solving, and how to communicate with impact.

  • My coaching is laser-focused on the specific skills you need, tailored to your journey.
  • I’ve helped many candidates not only prepare but excel — because I know what McKinsey wants.

My clients say my approach is different because it’s honest, effective, and personal.

  • Whether one-on-one or in workshops, my methods are designed to give you the confidence and clarity to crush your interview.
  • You won’t just practice — you’ll transform.

If you’re ready to get real about where you stand and what you need to do to secure your offer, I’m ready to guide you there.

Jose da Silva’s individualized coaching methodology tailors every aspect of preparation to the unique strengths and experiences of each candidate, focusing specifically on MBB interview process. Through personalized assessments, custom case practice, and targeted feedback, he empowers candidates to authentically showcase their abilities and excel in interviews.
