Did you enjoy the program? If yes, how? Yes. I enjoyed casing practice under pressure compared to the relatively easier experience when case practicing with fellow MBA students. Did the program meet your expectations? If yes, how? Yes. It was extremely useful to get information from a senior person in consulting industry vs. getting it from consultants with 1 or 2 years of experience, or reading it on the internet. Michael was very supportive throughout the recruiting process and his interpretation of the interview results and feedback was correct, allowing me to continue on the job seeking path and finally…

Did you enjoy the program? If yes, how? I enjoy learning; I enjoy being coached; I enjoy being challenged to grow; the program has done all of these. I have also enjoyed building a coaching relationship with Michael, and watching my own progress, from the resume rewrite to case interview training and networking success. Regardless of the outcome, the program has been invaluable in shaping how I present and communicate myself, with immediately tangible and life-long professional & personal benefits — therefore the program is enjoyable even when I’m discouraged or challenged. I would not have enjoyed the program if…

Did you enjoy the program? If yes, how? I thoroughly enjoyed the program. Although I have substantial industry experience, the program forced me to look at aspects that I had ignored earlier – communication skills, presentation, storytelling etc. The main learning was the structured manner to approach problems, which I try to apply to my daily work as well. Did the program meet your expectations? If yes, how? Till now, the program is going on well for me. Since my situation is slightly different, being a lateral with major work experience, finding the right opportunity is taking time. So my…

Did you enjoy the program? If yes, how? Yes, the program was very enjoyable and effective for reasons I have disclosed below in no particular order of importance: • My coaches, Kevin and Michael, were very friendly, helpful and willing to step outside the program to provide additional help and suggestions. There was noticeable continuity between Kevin and Michael – it felt like I was talking to the same person each time, but with a different purpose – Michael was the hunter looking for ways to make me improve while Kevin did more consolidation to help me build on what…

Did you enjoy the program? If yes, how? Yes for many reasons: • The first time I learnt how to properly structure my answers to case questions • I love the idea of Michael sharing his screen and drawing out the issue trees. I grasped the material a lot easier • I felt that Michael made a lot of effort in the training sessions especially when my next interview was confirmed • Extremely knowledgeable in all areas from even consulting companies in particular countries and his perception of them • The perception of “he’s always there for anything I need”…

My Michael Moment happened after my first try at MBB. I applied to all three firms and secured interviews at all three, but did not make it past the final round. I was obviously tired and frustrated. Bitter would be a better word since my class mates got in and they were poorly prepared relative to myself - my opinion but I think it is true. Michael’s first response was to brush off the failure and say we needed to regroup for the full-time hiring. I liked that he did not quit and pushed me to fix my development areas…

While responding to the questionnaire for the strategic planning session, I realized there is a story I can share. It's personal, not professional, but perhaps still appropriate: One Sunday, a week before Christmas, I had been chatting with Michael intermittently while attending holiday functions. At one point I was sitting in my car, having left one party, but not yet on the road to the next party. A cold rain was smattering against my windshield as we chatted back and forth. Earlier in our conversation, I compared professional networking with romantic dating. Michael was quick to agree, and our conversation…

Did you enjoy the program? If yes, how? The coaching program is well designed, clear expectations and milestones were set and Michael was very accommodating to work around my schedule. Michael was very open-minded in accepting me even though I came from a non-target US program but was very thorough in laying out the obstacles I needed to overcome. Did the program meet your expectations? If yes, how? Yes the program exceeded my expectations. I only pursued McKinsey [Redacted] and had worked with a head hunting firm to set up the interview. I found their preparation to be weak and…

Thank you for asking me to contribute to the changes at FC. I hope my best experiences are useful for the discussions in January. My most memorable moment working with Michael occurred well before I applied to the program. I would post very detailed questions to the Firmsconsulting open podcasts and Michael responded to everyone in great detail. It made me realize that Michael was very committed to teaching everyone about management consulting and took the time to provided useful advice. I always find Michael’s advice to be different from anything on the internet. There is depth, substance and experience…
