Our method has proven its worth. 95% joined a top 6 firm, 85% an MBB.
The StratMachina method is interactive and results-oriented. My coach adapted his approach to my profile and my skills. I succeeded in my interviews thanks to his help and availability, even beyond the time included in my package. Thank you so much!
Project Leader at BCG
StratMachina is one of the few courses that is really relevant in coaching advanced candidates for strategy consulting interviews. I really appreciated the adaptability of the coaches, their availability as well as their precise knowledge of the MBBs' expectations, which allowed me to focus on the dimensions in need of improvement.
Senior Consultant at Roland Berger Dubai
When I applied to McKinsey, I quickly realized that I needed expert coaching to improve my structure, my ability to synthesize, and manage my stress. The precious peaces of advice of the StratMachina team allowed me to approach my interviews with peace of mind and to reach my goal.

I took Sundar Pichai's offer of 14 coaching sessions in real conditions. I am an experienced profile with little time to prepare for interviews (1 month), with a job and a family on the side. My coach carried out a diagnosis of my level with a program to reach the target by my first interview. It even exceeded the expected time. An invaluable time saver.
Senior Manager at Deloitte
I got an offer at McKinsey after a month and a half of preparation with StratMachina. I was given the same excellent coach (ex-BCG) from start to finish, which ensured a real follow-up on both the case study and the FIT part.
Manager at Mckinsey
Very good coaching for BCG use cases and others. Real-life situation with step-by-step pedagogical supervision. We quickly become aware of the elements that need to be improved in our thinking process. I highly recommend StratMachina.
Visiting Associate at BCG
Extremely informative, the feedback is very detailed. My coach did not hesitate to exceed the planned time to be sure to explain his feedback well. Each feedback was also sent in writing in a very clear evaluation report, which allowed me to rework the key points at my own pace. Great support, thank you very much!
Consultant at Kea & Partners
Before coming across StratMachina, I had a lot of trouble seeing through all the preparation resources available on the internet. Their method is clear throughout the process (application strategy, resume and cover letter, case studies and FIT). I would never have had my internship at BCG without their support. Trust them!
Visiting Associate at BCG
The masterclass helped me to prepare effectively. The coaches are excellent and very educational. They take the time to explain each point and have a great deal of experience with interviews. I highly recommend the StratMachina preparation!
Consultant at Bain & Cie
Your approach is fantastic! I particularly appreciated being able to do my sessions with another partner, which allowed us to halve the cost and which was not offered to us by any other organization.

I did my first session with Oussama today. It was very helpful for my preparation of consulting interviews. He gives very clear feedback on where to improve based on the performances, but also the general approach for each part of the case (structuring, clarifying, calculating etc.). And I recommend to turn to him for training if needed!
M&A intern at AXA
Just did a few strategy consulting coaching sessions! It was very detailed and interesting. Helped me a lot for my processes.

Excellent mock interview that helped me to put myself in real conditions for the interview, and to guide my preparation for the future.

When I applied to McKinsey, I quickly realized that I needed expert coaching to improve my structure, my ability to synthesize, and manage stress. The advice of the StratMachina team allowed me to approach my interviews with peace of mind and to reach my goal.

The coaching sessions were always with consultants from BCG, Bain or McKinsey, who were very friendly, attentive and very responsive. They helped me to present myself better during an interview, and to pass my boxes. It was very constructive, it is a very concrete training that I recommend without hesitation!

I had the opportunity to do 4 2-hour coachings with StratMachina. The support is personalized and leaves nothing to chance (application, online tests, FIT and of course case studies). My coach was very available throughout my processes to answer my questions, which greatly helped me in my recruitment interviews and in getting my permanent contract at Bain Paris.

Consultant in Kearney Dubai
Effective and relevant coaching method! I took Sundar Pichai's coaching as well as the BCG case coaching. Before each interview, I was put in contact with alumni who work at the firm to prepare for my FIT. Very responsive and caring coaches. My progress has been spectacular thanks to them!

Responsiveness and efficiency guaranteed, quite simply the best support I found, after having tested two others. The investment is largely profitable. We feel that the success of candidates is the priority of coaches.

The 3 criteria to decide between an internship or a full-time job at MBB firms!
A former coachee with multiple offers from McKinsey, BCG, and Oliver Wyman shares the secrets of successful case study preparation in this 2024 guide.
Opinions differ on the balance between life and personal life within the best strategy consulting firms. We tell you everything without concessions.
Our answers to your most frequently asked questions
Ideally, we advise you to plan 3 to 7 months of preparation. For example, for an integration in September 2022, it is a good idea to start looking into the interview process between December 2021 and April 2022. Don't worry, our teams are used to supporting candidates who have much less time. This will involve working more intensively and being very attentive to the various feedback and advice from our coaches in order to make rapid progress. At the most intense pace, you need at least 6 weeks of preparation to reach the level we think you need to get internship/permanent offers within the top 6 strategy consulting firms.
Depending on your available time, we advise you to organize your preparation in 4 steps:
1) Preparation of the application (1 to 3 months) : here, the idea is to talk to as many people as possible from the consulting firms you are aiming for. Carefully take notes during each exchange. This networking will be very useful once you apply and when you want to prepare for your FIT. We can help you organize this step (questions to ask, note taking, contact techniques). Successful application preparation will have a definite impact on the rest of your process.
2) Application (1 to 2 week (s)) : here, the idea is to prepare your resume and cover letter in order to pass the screening stage for each firm targeted. We can also help you establish an application strategy to place your interviews intelligently and allow you to gradually gain momentum. Some basic rules must be respected and we can obviously provide you with examples and support you on this.
3) Apprenticeship (1 to 2 months): Here, you have to practice as much as possible on various case studies in order to be able to approach any problem in a calm and structured way. This is the perfect time to develop your Business Sense by creating summary sheets on the various industries of the clients of the firms concerned (which you can easily find on their site). When it comes to FIT, the aim is to prepare your answers to the most likely questions and start mastering them. This phase generally lasts between 4 and 12 weeks. We recommend interviewing firms that you do not particularly want to include at this stage, in order to reach the interviews of the firms in question by already having 2-3 interviews under your belt.
4) Acceleration and perspective (3 to 6 weeks): At this stage, you are not surprised by any case studies, even the most original ones. You are also able to propose approaches that are perfectly adapted to the client's objectives, while being as less academic as possible. You master all the dimensions of the case study: clarification, analytical questions, business sense questions, Drive, the conclusion. As far as your FIT is concerned, you have already validated your written answers and ideally have already tested them in a few interviews to adjust them. You continue to repeat them (yes, even in the shower) in order to be able to respond as naturally as possible on D-Day. We advise you to do sports, sleep well and eat healthy throughout your process in order to arrive in the best conditions at the interviews that matter. If you don't work, nothing will work
There is no magic answer to this question. This will depend on your starting level and your ability to assimilate and act on the feedback so as not to repeat the same mistakes again. In more than 5 years of experience and after having coached more than 600 candidates, we have never seen anyone get an offer in MBB with less than 20-25 case studies in real conditions. Your first 15 cases should allow you to master the key skills on which companies will assess you, such as synthesis skills or analytical capacity (learning stage). Once you are more comfortable, you can focus on solving the case itself in the most efficient and elegant way possible. You can then strengthen more advanced skills such as drive, the Business Sense or creativity. We recommend that you start training as soon as possible.. There is no better way to achieve the level of preparation required to get an offer at the best firms than to get started. Our trial lesson with an MBB coach (2x1h) will help you in this awareness.
The answer is a big yes. Candidates are more and more trained (watching Victor Cheng's videos and reading the Case in Point is unfortunately not enough/more) and have access to more and more quality resources (Casecoach, Prepastrat). These resources are sometimes considered expensive by some candidates with whom we talk. On the cabinet side, the selectivity bar is also always higher. It is also very difficult to identify on your own the specific points on which one is judged during these interviews. Our coaches allow you to see much more clearly and to know exactly where to focus to work on your side and get the firm you dream of! For each question and each moment of your future interviews, we will teach you a Process to be followed rigorously. As with 99% of our candidates, you will be surprisingly surprised by the results. Trust the process.
The masterclass takes place once a month, 100% remotely. You will be coached for 32 hours over 4 weekends by our senior consultants McKinsey, BCG and Bain. It has been designed for candidates finishing their studies or already in a professional carreer. These profiles do not have time to prepare during the week and want to speed up their preparation by working everything necessary to start the application processes.
The dates of the next masterclasses are specified on the website. We generally open applications 4-5 months in advance. If you have any doubts, our team will answer any questions you may have.
Payment for the training is made in several installments. Payment methods vary depending on the city where you want to apply, do not hesitate to contact our team for more information.
The price varies according to the season and our promotions. Do not hesitate to contact our team for more information.
Standard individual coaching will follow the same framework as a recruitment interview with the best consulting firms. You will start with an exchange of motivations (FIT) of 10 to 15 minutes before continuing with a case study — that was given in a real MBB interview — for 35 minutes. You will end up by receiving a highly detailed feedback to know exactly what you need to work on to reach the level required to ace in your interviews.
The price varies according to the time of the year and our promotions. The prices for individual coaching are decreasing. The more you book at once, the lower the individual coaching price. Generally, our candidates need at least 10 coaching sessions to feel ready. Do not hesitate to contact our team for more information.
Plus de 750 candidats ont été coachés, et impressionnants, 95% d'entre eux intègrent le top 6 des écoles ou entreprises de leur choix.
