Communicate like a consultant. If you don't ace the fit interview, you don't get the offer.
Watch VideoYears ago, a friend of ours spent all of his time preparing for just the case interview. And guess what? He absolutely killed the case – but didn’t land the McKinsey offer.
The feedback he got from the partner? His case performance was great, but McKinsey just couldn’t trust him to be left alone in a room with a Fortune 500 CEO. And that cost him the offer.
Top applicants prepare for both parts of the interview, understanding that firms weight the fit and case interview EQUALLY, especially in final rounds. In this Fit Interview Intensive, we’ll walk you through the 3 types of fit interview questions you’ll see: main questions, predictable story questions, and curveball story questions.
There are no right answers – but a lot of wrong ones
Ever wonder why it’s called the fit interview? Consulting firms are assessing if you are a “fit” for their culture. Interviewers are looking for clear communicators, team players, and top performers. Over 4 sessions in 1 power-packed week, join our expert team for a deep-dive into preparing for fit interview success.
After 1 week, you’ll walk away with stories to clearly communicate your story, and the confidence to take on any interview question. Recordings are available if you can’t join all calls live.
Your instructor is Jenny Rae Le Roux, former Bain consultant and MC Managing Director. Combined, the MC Team has decades of experience helping thousands of candidates navigate interviews at firms including McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, Accenture, Amazon, Facebook, Google, Goldman Sachs, and more.

Join us live for dynamic teaching, meaningful exercises, and fun walkthroughs - all taught by a former Bain consultant and one of the foremost experts in the world on consulting interviews.1:1 Feedback
We'll give you personalized feedback on your stories and answers. Get access to the scoring criteria firms use, and insight into how to craft answers that answer the question they're really asking.Practical Exercises
This isn't just theory; you'll roll up your sleeves and craft best-practice answers - based on your unique experience - to the most common fit interview questions. You'll be well on your way to having 12-15 stories to draw upon in your upcoming interviews.I am more confident in describing my story and how to deliver it. How could you possibly go into an interview not having done this training?
There are 3 main questions you'll be asked in every consulting fit interview - whether you're a fresh student or grizzled experienced pro. If you don't know how to answer these - the interview might as well be over.
Learn what consulting firms are really asking you to share, and built clear, concise answers. We'll practice the delivery, and give you personalized feedback as well.
We've all heard the questions, yet still dread them.
"What is your greatest weakness?"
"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
We'll work with you to develop a story-based answer for each of these questions and more. Tell the truth - and still put your best foot forward.
Rule #1 in consulting interviews: expect the unexpected. Over the last 12 years of preparing thousands of consulting applicants, we've seen every single curveball question in the book - and helped candidates navigate the minefield.
Don't get blindsided and ramble your way through a BS answer. Anticipate the questions, prepare an answer, get expert feedback, and practice your delivery.
Almost every fit question should be answered with a story. We call these stories "hero stories", where you are the main character!
You should have 12-15 stories prepared before walking into an interview. In this intensive, you will begin to craft the stories you'll need for fit interview success.
Thank you so much for all your help and guidance throughout my preparation. I have just received the offer from McKinsey Shanghai office to join their Corporate Finance Practice as an Associate. I would like to express my gratitude to the team for the resourceful and insightful materials on the website and to Lisa for her patient guidance in polishing my case skills as well as the fit stories. Lisa has been super helpful and responsible and well prepared for the coaching sessions (many of which were seriously beyond the 1-hour limit) – so I really appreciate that. Wish you all the best!
