Live BCG Case – Energy Sector

A former BCG interviewer has seen hundreds of case interviews. Most candidates have no idea what he's actually tracking – or when the score is already decided.

On June 2 at 3PM ET, Ish runs a live candidate through a BCG-style case set in the energy sector. You watch the full thing: opening structure, exhibit analysis, quantitative work, final recommendation. Ish spent years at BCG Detroit conducting first-round interviews and running case prep for MBA candidates in BCG's Bridge to BCG program. He knows what a passing performance looks like – and where good candidates lose points.

The case is expert difficulty, the kind that shows up in real BCG interviews – layered data, no obvious answer until you've done the work. What you'll see:

• How to frame a complex BCG case from the first 60 seconds
• How a strong candidate works through multi-exhibit quantitative analysis under time pressure
• The moments Ish probes deeper – and what he's listening for when he does
• How to build and deliver a clean, evidence-backed final recommendation

If you want a read on where your own case prep stands, book a free 15-minute consultation with Katie. She'll help you identify your gap areas and figure out whether targeted coaching or Black Belt – MC's flagship program – is the right fit.
