What is the aim of this course?  

Getting into consulting is one of the most difficult tasks. It’s not only very selective but also quite a tough and long recruitment process. You will have at least 5 job interviews, spend on average 2-3 months in the recruiting process and your chances of succeeding will be around 5-10%.  I will help you significantly boost the odds in your favor.     

This course will help you prepare for the cases that you will be asked to solve during the job interviews with consultants. I will improve your knowledge and skills in analysis through a series of practical cases. It is based on my 15 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting companies and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, improvement, and turn-arounds in the biggest companies from FMCG, SMG, and B2B sectors that I worked for.  I have participated in over 200 recruitments and the materials in this course will encompass all the tricks that you should use during the interview. On the basis of what you will find in this course I have trained over 100 business analysts who now are Investment Directors, Senior Analyst, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members, etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 224 000 students including people working in EY, McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Walmart, Booz Allen Hamilton, Alvarez & Marsal, PwC, Deloitte, Dell, Adidas, Naspers, Walgreens, and many others.

I teach through cases so most of the lectures will be case studies showing some business problems that you have to solve during the interview. Those cases are based on real-life examples. For every case study that I described in this course, you will find extensive answers showing you how you should approach the problem. For every lecture, you will also find attached additional resources. Thanks to this, as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made materials that will help you not only during the recruitment process but also in your first year as a business analyst / junior consultant.      

Why did I decide to create this course?   

During the interviews that I have taken part in, I have noticed that even smart students don’t know how to approach some things in a structured and coherent manner. Sometimes they overcomplicate things. On other occasions, they give up on answering without even trying. I have tested on my people that most of the things that you have to do during interviews organized by consulting companies can be mastered and they will benefit you not only during the recruitment process but also in your work life no matter what you do. Learn from this course and apply it also in real life.    

In what way will you benefit from this course?  

The course is a practical, step-by-step guide loaded with tons of cases, tricks, and hints that will significantly improve the speed with which you go through the cases during the interview. You will learn also how to give better, more structured, well-thought-out answers. There is little theory – mainly examples, a lot of tips from my own experience as well as other notable examples worth mentioning. My intention is that thanks to the course you will know:   

• How to approach any type of cases that you may come across in the job interview?   

• How to apply the most useful concepts and methods used later by consultants in their work?   

• How to be efficient during the interview?    

• How do the consultant minds work?   

You can also ask me any question either through the discussion mode or by messaging me directly.
