Hi, I'm Brian!

Ex-BCG consultant, project leader, recruiter, case interviewer, and founder of passthecase.com

Thousands of people read my material on how to pass the consulting case interview.

When you land an offer at a top consulting firm, you could accelerate your professional development and belong to a lifelong network of very talented people.

I take a different approach than most "experts" out there

I know you have a lot of choices in what you pay attention to, so I aim to earn your trust with every piece of content I make. If you're curious, here's a little bit about me.

From nervous student to high performer at BCG

I always struggled with interview confidence issues, especially when it came to once in a life time job interviews.

My test scores were below average. I was never good at standardized tests or times where I was under pressure and judged, like a job interview.

As an undergrad, I landed a coveted interview invitation with BCG. I was thoroughly impressed with the firm's brand and the professional development opportunities that would await those that get in.

I started to pour over books on how to case and memorized all the standard types of frameworks. I also practiced a lot with my friends who were also going for consulting.

And like most people who try, I did not pass the interview. 

Fast forward 7 years later, and I once again found myself in the hot seat, interviewing with my dream consulting firm, BCG. This time, I passed the interview.

I ignored all these “tips” that experts kept throwing around—like “know your frameworks." I realized most of it actually HURT candidates.

I came to realize that these "experts" and book authors loved to tell people what to do... but nobody who was successful was actually doing it.

Here's what I learned along the way:

• Memorizing frameworks actually hurts you
• You need to practice thinking on your feet, which was against my natural tendency as an introvert
• You must get inside the mind of a case interviewer for true case interview success

Instead of people learning and practicing cases the wrong way, I wanted to teach people the right way. There's a better way to increase the chances of passing the case.

It's all about learning and practicing the 7 keys of the case.

Since leaving BCG, I've been teaching students around the world how to land top consulting offers.

I don't consider myself "book smart." I'm not a natural born consultant-type.

But I was able to climb a steep learning curve to receive out-sized bonuses in my first two years as a Consultant and got promoted on the fast-track to Project Leader at the firm.

I say this not to brag, but rather to demonstrate how I can teach you how to receive out-sized compensation and get on the fast path to promotion once you land an offer. If I could do it, you can do it too. And I'll show you how.

WHY THIS MATERIAL WORKS

I've interviewed hundreds of candidates, including undergraduates, MBAs, masters degrees, and advanced degree candidates. I've seen a lot of talent, but unfortunately, only a few will pass the case.

Yes, I'm the guy who had to make the hard hire and reject decisions across many, many talented candidates!

In fact, it's so competitive, that approximately 6 out of 7 people will get rejected. And here's the big insight. That's because only those with great performance will pass the case. Good is not good enough. 

This is a very important point to understand. You must strive for great scores in each area of your case.

My site is designed to show you the exact approach to help you get great scores in each and every area.

Here’s the brutal truth - you need to set yourself apart. There are simply too many people who get "good" scores. Those 6 out of 7 people who get rejected almost always didn't do bad... it's just that they only got good.

Again, you must strive for great scores - yes it bears repeating. 

I’ll show you the exact system I use to help students increase their overall case interview performance. It's about knowing exactly what things to look out for in each of the seven areas of the case.

You likely have a lot of resources available. You may have access to school casebooks or even the ability to "mock" with existing consultants at your target firms.

There are a wealth of books devoted to the subject of case interviews. So this begs the question, why this resource?

Because most resources help you understand how to just be "good" (instead of fair) on the case interview. You'll read things like how to have a "good case structure" and how to have a "good close to your case."

You see, there is a misconception out there that your competition is the case. In fact, your competition is against other very well-prepared candidates.

What the resources fail to do, is help you understand the nuanced difference between "good" vs. "great."

These top consulting jobs are so competitive, that there is only room for the great candidate. He or she is the 1 out of 7 who will pass the first and second round interview and ultimately get the offer.

And my only, singular goal is to make that person YOU!

I will teach you the absolutely critical difference between "good" vs. "great" like only a former experienced case interviewer can do.

That’s what I offer at passthecase.com. No sugar-coating, no BS, no random tactics. Just real advice that will help increase your chances of case interview success.

For example, I share word-for-word scripts in my videos so you’ll know exactly what to say to win points with the interviewer, and importantly, what not to say that will help you avoid losing points.

You're going to get a significant edge in your case interview confidence and increase your chances of success.

Enjoy!
