We help aspiring graduates, young professionals, and seasoned topic experts to ensure success in their job interviews with the world's most reputable Strategy Consulting Firms. We place a special emphasis on "MBB": McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and Bain & Company.

Our track record of interview success with large global Strategy Consulting firms is absolutely unparalleled! Within the last three years, more than 350 of our clients started working at McKinsey, BCG, or Bain alone.

Yet, the total number of offers received (including counter offers within MBB, as well as offers from consulting firms of global reputation such as Oliver Wyman, Strategy&, Kearney, etc.) is even much higher!

We have extensive experience with placing clients across all seniority levels! This spans from internship positions, all the way up to Associate Partner positions which several of our clients secured with McKinsey et. al. in the past.

Throughout the last recruiting cycles, we have seen periods where - in a single weekfour or five of our clients signed an employment contract with one of the world's most reputable Strategy Consulting firms.

About The MBB Offer Machine™
We transform our clients' thinking, their articulation of this thinking, and the execution of the corresponding analyses in a way that the world's most prestigious Strategy Consulting firms (McKinsey / BCG / Bain) regularly fall over themselves to get them on board!

From our interview preparation programme, our clients build a maturity and rigor of thought that lies WAY above anything that can be achieved by using the pertinent case literature (“Case in Point”, “Case Interview Secrets”, and the likes) or anything available on the internet. In fact, our clients' ability to think through issues from first principles usually even lies way above the level of most young MBB consultants in their first 24 months on the job.

Thinking through ANY type of problem from first principles is a skill that consultants usually only learn as Senior Project Managers at MBB – a level of seniority that none of the authors of the most popular case books has ever reached! Hence, demonstrating this kind of thinking during interviews empowers our clients to leave a memorable impression with every single MBB interviewer they encounter.

Apply now for a free initial consultation!

Please note: We deliver outstanding results. Hence, we can not serve very large numbers of clients at the same time. And given our clients' results, we are facing an ever growing demand. 

Therefore, an application is mandatory for working with us. This ensures that we identify the best candidates for our coaching programme. 

For well-suited candidates, we will set up a free initial consultation session in which we develop a concrete step-by-step plan towards success - your personal MBB Offer Strategy.

We do not intend to waste either your or our time! We are firmly convinced that, concerning the offer-rate from MBB, there is NOBODY who can historically show the same degree of success that we have achieved together with our clients!
Our Promise:
From this free initial consultation session alone, you will already learn significantly more than from ALL the pertinent books and resources that are available on the market. And also more than you have learned over maybe months of trying to get a grip on case solving...

QUESTIONS?

FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions)

How is The MBB Offer Machine™ different from other consulting interview prep resources?
The vast majority of the prevalent resources for consulting interview preparation have been authored by individuals who were relatively junior during their tenure at MBB (with only 1-3 years of experience at these firms). At such a junior level, consultants are not typically authorized to conduct interviews for their firms. Consequently, individuals who have spent a mere two years at an MBB firm have not been tasked with the responsibility of conducting actual interviews.

This is where The MBB Offer Machine™ stands out, offering a markedly different level of guidance. Our senior experts boast over 15 years of experience at McKinsey and MBB, having served as trained interviewers for many years. Our methodology revolves around skill-building, aligning closely with the competencies genuinely evaluated by MBB interviewers. This approach diverges from the superficial memorization of "frameworks and buckets" still prevalent in mainstream resources.
What is included in the coaching?
Our coaching encompasses all aspects necessary to secure a consulting job offer from a premier consulting firm. This comprises assistance in formulating an application strategy, crafting application documents, guidance on networking to secure referrals, preparation for pre-tests, coaching for excellence in case interviews, and strategies for excelling in fit/behavioral interviews.
Will I receive individual 1-on-1-support and coaching?
Yes. Skill-building is effective only through consistent guidance and personalized adjustment provided by senior experts who accompany your journey and development until achieving success. In addition to the recurring 1-on-1 case coaching sessions, our program uniquely offers mentees the opportunity for DAILY face-to-face interactions with senior experts.
Where can I see testimonials of former clients who have been coached by The MBB Offer Machine™ to join McKinsey, BCG, or Bain?
On our Testimonials page, you can view testimonials from numerous former clients, now consultants at McKinsey, BCG, and Bain, sharing their experiences of being coached by The MBB Offer Machine™. Click here.

Additionally, we are the sole institution globally to have dedicated an entire YouTube channel to client testimonials, exclusively featuring MBB offers. We do not include lower-tier offers in our testimonials. Click here.

Furthermore, we have approximately 100 written testimonials from former clients, all of which have been verified by Trustpilot. Click here.
What is the duration of the programme? When will it expire?
Our clients have secured offers from McKinsey, BCG, and Bain under varying circumstances and timelines. We've coached individuals to secure offers within a rigorous three-week period, as well as provided strategic support for over a year to aid in breaking into their desired firms. The majority of our clients undergo coaching for a duration ranging from two to six months until they receive offers.
What is the price of this coaching programme?
It depends significantly on your initial circumstances and the specific needs of your situation. We encourage you apply for a free and non-binding initial consultation. During this consultation, one of our senior experts will collaborate with you to develop a comprehensive step-by-step plan, facilitating your journey to join the  ranks of over 400 consultants at McKinsey, BCG, and Bain who have attained their positions through our personalized coaching.

Based on this consultation, our senior expert will be able to provide a concrete proposal for collaboration.
I'm not entirely sure if The MBB Offer Machine™ can help me
We can find this out quickly. If you intend to interview with a top strategy consulting firm (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and comparable firms), we can most certainly help you. You can get clarity on this by applying for a free initial consultation with one of our senior experts to find out exactly whether and how we can help you
Why do I need to apply for the free initial consultation? Can I not just book it?
Please understand that, due to our clients' outstanding track record of receiving offers from the world's top consulting firms, we are facing an ever-growing demand. Since we can not serve very large numbers of clients at the same time, we need to do a pre-screening to find out which ambitious individuals have the potential to successfully work with us.
What makes a great candidate for this coaching programme?
We have helped more than 400 clients join either McKinsey, BCG or Bain alone. These clients came from all sorts of backgrounds and situations. What we have learned is that the most important success factor for our clients is COACHABILITY: being able (and willing) to follow clear guidance by experts, without the vanity of constantly trying to do it "their own way". 

This has proved to be way more important than degrees, raw intelligence, or eloquence of a candidate.
Do you also work with experienced candidates who want to switch into consulting?
Yes! In fact, due to the seniority of our founders, we are the only institution in the consulting interview prep space which has a substantial track record of helping senior clients join McKinsey / BCG / Bain even for Principal and (Junior) Partner positions!
Will my educational/professional background prevent me from joining McKinsey, BCG, Bain?
For the top consulting firms, it is not relevant what you studied! For generalist consulting positions, they do NOT hire for knowledge - they hire for problem solving skills. In combination with clear evidence for excellence in whatever you did in your professional life, there are very few backgrounds which could be seen as straight "red flags". 

Picture this: in 2022, we could even help an Opera Singer join BCG in Asia. 

So the best way to find out if a career at a top strategy consulting firm is possible for you is to apply for a free initial consultation with us. We will then give you clear assessment.
I do not have an MBA - is this a problem for breaking into MBB?
An MBA is NOT needed to break into a top consulting firm! In fact, our two founders Sidi Koné and Jörn Kobus both have no MBA degree, and still received offers from McKinsey, BCG, and Bain, and worked in McKinsey and BCG for aggregate 15+ years.
Can you also help me prepare for my interviews with Big-4 firms (EY, KPMG, PwC, Deloitte)?
Only if it is for the consulting/advisory arms of these firms. We are not the right institution to help you prepare for other branches of Big-4 firms (e.g., Audit or Tax).

Apply now for a free initial consultation!

Please note: We deliver outstanding results. Hence, we can not serve very large numbers of clients at the same time. And given our clients' results, we are facing an ever growing demand.
