An ex-MBB Gen Z consultant helps others land jobs at top firms. He said acing the 'airplane test' is key.
"We offer a one-on-one mentorship program that takes students from A to Z, from the very beginning of resume writing and cover letters all the way to networking, behaviorals, and case interviews. The cost of the mentorship program varies because everyone's on a different timeline and has different priorities. It ranges between 1,000 pounds, or about $1,300, all the way up to 5,000 plus pounds, or around $6,700, in super niche customized cases."
"I stayed at Bain for three and a half years and got two promotions in that time. Last August was my last month in consulting. I knew I didn't see myself doing consulting for a long time. I never really saw myself becoming a partner, and I always wanted to do something entrepreneurial."
"Our first cohort that we launched last year had fewer than 10 students. We got four of them into a top consulting firm, McKinsey, Bain, or BCG, and one of them actually came from a non-target university."
Jack Kim attended London School of Economics for his bachelor's and master's degrees, then worked at Parthenon for eighteen months before joining Bain & Company as an MBB consultant. He remained at Bain for three and a half years, earning two promotions. Recognizing his entrepreneurial aspirations and lack of long-term interest in consulting, Kim left to co-found Casebuddy with a friend. The mentorship program guides candidates through the entire consulting recruitment process, including resume writing, cover letters, networking, behavioral interviews, and case preparation. Pricing ranges from approximately $1,300 to $6,700 depending on customization and timeline. In their inaugural cohort of fewer than ten students, four secured positions at McKinsey, Bain, or BCG, including one from a non-target university.
