Management Consulting Mock Interview

“Daniel was an exceptional mock interviewer. He asked sharp, realistic questions that pushed my thinking, and he paired them with clear, actionable feedback at the end. He pinpointed the exact areas where I could tighten my delivery and structure my answers more effectively. I walked away feeling significantly better prepared and more confident for my upcoming interviews—would recommend him without hesitation. He was very effective, kind, and scheduling was really easy. We were able to schedule a session in less than 24 hrs. ”

Management Consulting Mock Interview

“My mentor was very helpful in walking me through both the behavioral interview and the technical case. She paid close attention to everything I said, and her feedback was specific and actionable. Whenever she identified something I could improve, she explained what I should do to address it. After the case, she carefully reviewed the data points I had missed and explained what the case was asking me to uncover. This helped me understand both the details I had overlooked and how to approach the case as a whole. Her feedback consistently built on my responses, and I felt that she was tailoring her guidance to what I needed. She was kind, attentive, and supportive throughout, and I found the session very valuable.”

Is it really that low? I thought they'd raised it during pandemic?

They did, that's the post-raise salary. I guess they don't have to up it since 1/3-1/2 of all new BAs had banking offers for 2x/3x the pay (bonuses included) and still went here so they don't have to change
