Like most candidates, you share the same observation: the recruitment process in strategy consulting is a real obstacle course, selective, testing and as difficult as a Grandes Écoles competitive examination. In each round, the majority of candidates are eliminated (Table 1).
Fact #1: For every 1,000 MBB applicants, 3 will receive an offer.
Successful candidates are forced to prepare intensively. Without guidance, they need hundreds of hours of work to hope to get through the rounds to the end of the process - assuming they have had access to competent case partners and recent, high-quality resources! Traditional resources such as the Case In Point are outdated. Year after year, the average level of candidates increases; if you want to be at the top of the basket, you too will need to acquire all the codes and best practices of this very specific and standardized test.
Fact #2: Traditional preparation methods are obsolete.
In 2017, when we created PrepaStrat, there was no comprehensive, methodical preparation available to guide candidates through the entire process, from the start of their preparation right through to the final rounds of interviews. Having gone through the recruitment process ourselves and obtained offers from the best firms, we condensed all the information and experience we had gathered into a comprehensive method for learning how to succeed in board interviews, in a structured and progressive way. Since then, we've been updating our training courses several times a year, which has earned us undeniable success (Table 2).
Choosing PrepaStrat means staying ahead of the pack.
Virtually all our supported candidates land their internship or permanent contract in the consulting sector on the first try.
We are the oldest French-speaking player in online case study training. We also revolutionized the market with the first bootcamps. To stay at the forefront, we regularly update our content.
At PrepaStrat, you won't find any financial interview training: strategy consulting is our core expertise, not an add-on to our range.
We select our coaches with the greatest care for their teaching skills and their recruitment experience. Our bootcamp and interview coaches all come from MBB (at least senior consultants).
We optimize the preparation of each candidate by offering them a personalized, modern and guaranteed no-nonsense approach.
We train all profiles: from school students looking for their internship to experienced consultants looking for a change of firm, as well as doctoral students and experienced profiles.
Our students join the firm of their choice: strategy, management, auditing, IT, specialized boutique... We can advise you on the processes specific to each firm.
We deliver training specifically targeted at the French-speaking offices of plus major law firms: their expectations differ from what is taught in training international case studies.
Whether you've graduated from a target school or have an atypical background, we'll help you to shine at interview, just like the hundreds of candidates who have gone before you!
