Unlock Your Consulting Interview Potential
Are consulting interviews feeling overwhelming or unpredictable?
You’re not alone – and you don’t have to prepare blindly.
I know the process firsthand. I went through the same hurdles: rejections, steep learning curves, and unclear expectations. After refining my preparation, I secured multiple offers and launched my career at McKinsey.
Today, I teach the exact strategies I developed and refined over 5 years at McKinsey, enabling candidates to consistently perform at a top-1% level.
I’ve developed a modern, first-principles-driven approach to case and fit interviews that reflects how top firms actually evaluate candidates today. No outdated advice, no guesswork – just proven methods that drive results.
In the past 4 years alone, these methods have generated 700+ verified offers, including 190 at McKinsey, the most selective of the top firms.
Whatever consulting firms you are targeting, you’ll get personalized coaching and a structured roadmap designed to maximize your performance and remove uncertainty from your preparation.

Check What My Clients Have to Say
Verified BuyerFlorian supported me from the very beginning, and his coaching and materials helped me quickly ramp up my casing skills as well as prepare effectively for the behavioral interview. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to secure an offer for a BCG internship. I highly recommend working with Florian!
Verified BuyerWhat can I say? I worked with Florian for my McKinsey interview prep and I got the offer. My dream offer. I already told him in person, but it’s worth writing here: he’s the best coach I’ve ever had.
I tried so many resources before, but nothing came close. His coaching is super practical, very tailored, and exactly focused on what actually matters in the McKinsey process. Every session felt efficient and personalized to my strengths, weaknesses, and learning style.
Florian wasn’t just a coach. He felt like a top-tier sports trainer on the sidelines: cheering, pushing, analyzing, and helping me make adjustments I simply would not have spotted on my own.
Both the PEI coaching and the case coaching were spot-on. During the final interviews, the feedback I got said everything:
“Your performance was way above average. Your creativity and business sense really stood out.”
“You absolutely nailed the PEI — we’re looking exactly for someone like you.”
They even told me to let them know when my onboarding is so they can try to get me on a project! That’s how strong the feedback was!!!
To be clear: Florian can’t do the work for you. You still have to put in the hours. But if you’re willing to do that, he’ll help you get there.
I can fully recommend him. I’ve used a lot of prep material and he’s truly next level. It worked.
Verified BuyerChecking in after receiving two offers: booking Florian was a fantastic decision. He always showed up well-prepared with fresh, challenging cases that kept me sharp. A few unexpected twists really pushed me, which was perfect. Expert interviewer, and his feedback was so detailed and left no stone unturned. Thanks again!
Verified BuyerI had the chance to work with Florian specifically opting in for the 1% Case Method, and I can confidently say it made quite a difference in my interview journey. The program is extremely structured and practical and more importantly tailored. For me specifically, I had already a good amount of case study knowledge and pretty high floor in my performance hence I was doubtful at first as to what else can these coaching sessions help me with if I am already good, I had a brief chat with Florian and was convinced he can take me from a fairly good candidate to an excellent one, and that's exactly what happened. Because of that I thankfully was able to get the offer at Mckinsey and would highly recommend this program.
Verified BuyerPut simply, Florian is an outstanding coach (and an even better human). He puts an enormous amount of effort and care into your process, and works with you as a deeply invested partner to your success. Because of his help, I got final rounds for all 3 MBBs, and offers from both McKinsey and BCG. Florian not only worked with me on building strong case habits, but on perfecting the casing style for each firm. My McKinsey interviewers noted my excellent storytelling in the PEIs, a direct result of the work Florian put into perfecting them with me. I cannot recommend his services enough.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I just go ahead and book the 5-session program?
Before booking the full program, please schedule a free introduction call as I want to make sure that I have the required capacity to fit your timeline and meet your application needs.
What does the coaching session include?
Each session includes tailored coaching on either case interviews or fit interviews, real evaluation, detailed feedback, and performance diagnostics. You'll also receive preparation plans, exercises, and a Q&A to ensure all your questions are addressed. Additionally, we can also focus on other things like a full mock interview, market sizing, brainteasers, etc.
How long do I have access to the materials after purchase?
If you book the 5-session program, you will have 1 year (365 days) of access to all other products that are offered through StrategyCase.com.
What firms does this product help me prepare for?
Although I have a McKinsey background, the approach that I developed works for all firms in an equal manner, and candidates who get a McKinsey offer and target other firms as well usually also get other offers as well. The case interview coaching is designed to prepare you for interviews with all different types of consulting firms, from McKinsey, BCG, and Bain to Tier-2 firms, the Big 4, in-house consulting firms, boutique consulting firms, tech consulting firms etc. Additionally, the case interview training also applies to other industries that use cases to screen candidates such as banking, finance, product management, etc. The fit interview sessions can also be tailored to other industries.
What is your success rate?
Over 95% of my clients of the 5-session program achieve success through my coaching, securing offers at MBB, tier-2 firms, boutique firms, and beyond. So effective, in fact, that McKinsey even kicked me out of their alumni network in 2025.
How many sessions do I need?
This depends on your experience and goals. Some clients benefit from one session to refine their approach, while others prefer multiple sessions for continuous improvement and preparation. It's best to discuss this in a free introduction call.
What if I want to book more sessions?
By default, I offer 1-, 5-, and 13-session packages, based on the typical needs of clients I’ve worked with. If you’d like a different number of sessions (for example, 3 or 10), I’m happy to create a tailored package for you. Custom packages also come with additional discounts on individual sessions. Please reach out to info@strategycase.com to schedule a free consultation with me. If we are already working together, you can always add more sessions on top as needed.
What distinguishes you from other case coaches?
I don’t see myself as just a case coach. When I began coaching seriously in 2020, I developed a completely new approach to case interviews - one that goes far beyond the outdated methods taught in traditional resources. I train my clients to think and communicate like real consultants, not just case interview candidates. As a result, interviewers perceive them as equal problem solvers and compelling storytellers. This approach proved so effective that even other coaches have reached out to me and purchased my products to learn from it.
Beyond methodology and success rates, I work personally with every candidate. I only take on a limited number of clients each month to ensure each receives my full attention. Every interaction, communication, and session is conducted directly with me - never outsourced or delegated. When you book my service, you get my complete focus and support.
Who is this coaching for?
My coaching is ideal for:
- Students and graduates preparing for their first consulting interviews.
- Early-career professionals aiming for MBB or top-tier firms.
- Experienced professionals transitioning to strategy consulting roles.
Is the coaching flexible?
Yes! Sessions are adjusted to fit your schedule, needs, and preparation progress.
What if I don't like the coaching?
If you book the 5-session package and decide it’s not for you, you can cancel after the first session. Just notify us within 48 hours after the first session, and you’ll receive a full refund for the remaining four sessions—no questions asked.
I’m very confident in my coaching approach, and to date, no one has ever needed to use this guarantee!
Who should I contact for further questions?
If you want more detailed information about the coaching, please reach out to info@strategycase.com and we will take care of the matter promptly. Alternatively, please use the form above to set up your free introduction call.
Is there anything else that I should know?
I understand that coaching represents a significant investment of your valuable time and resources. On top of that, I am aware of the responsibility I have with regard to your successful consulting applications and the trust you need to place in a coach for that matter. Hence, please reach out to me with your questions so we can set up an introduction call to answer all your questions and discuss a potential plan.
