Florian Smeritschnig Case Coaching Session

Florian Smeritschnig Case Coaching Session

(56 customer reviews)

$399.00

One untimed 1:1 session with me, built around a diagnosis. You work through a real case, your fit and PEI stories, or a full mock interview under interview conditions. I measure it against the MBB bar I apply from my McKinsey experience, show you what is holding your performance down and why, and teach you the fix. You leave with written feedback, a preparation plan, and the exercises for the days or weeks ahead.

First sessions usually run 75 to 90 minutes. Every session is with me personally.

Find Out What Is Actually Holding You Back

Most candidates can tell when a case went badly. Very few can tell why.

A case partner will tell you “your structure wasn’t MECE.” That’s the symptom. The diagnosis sounds different: “you started generating categories before you clarified the decision the client actually needs to make.” The first tells you something went wrong. The second tells you what to change, and that is what this session gives you.

“He customized the case and feedback to my level and we talked about so many things neither I nor my peers recognized before in over 50 cases.” Liz, verified buyer

Why My Diagnosis Is Different

I’ve seen the case interview from three sides.

As a candidate, I failed it. My first McKinsey interview, for an internship, didn’t go to plan, and I was rejected. I had prepared the way almost everyone does: the well-known books, memorized frameworks, case after case. Fourteen months later I applied again with a completely different approach and got the offer.

As a consultant, I saw behind the curtain. In five years at McKinsey I saw what separated a strong performance from a weak one, and how little of it matched what the popular resources teach.

As a coach, I’ve worked on it in 2,200+ sessions since 2020. My clients have secured 700+ consulting offers, 190 of them at McKinsey.

My method is reverse-engineered from that experience. It starts with what interviewers actually score and works back to the skill behind each score. So your feedback tells you which skill to build, not which framework to memorize. Other case coaches have bought my courses to learn the method. This method and the success that comes with it have led to more than 1,600 5-star reviews across platforms.

What Happens in the Session

Before the session. You tell me your target firms, your interview dates, and what worries you. I choose or build my own case to match: the industry you ask for, candidate-led or interviewer-led, the firm you’re facing.

The case. We run it under real interview conditions. It’s usually longer than a first-round case, so I see more of how you think.

The diagnosis. I score you on structuring, math, data interpretation, brainstorming, communication, business sense, and fit. Then we go through it together: where you lose points, why, and the techniques that fix each one.

No clock. Sessions are untimed. We finish when our agenda is finished and your questions are answered.

Instead of a case, we can work on your fit and PEI stories, run a full mock interview with fit and case, prepare a written case, or take apart a rejection to find out what went wrong.

What You Get Afterward

  • Written feedback on every element of the case, in a color-coded scorecard
  • A preparation plan with exercises for the coming days or weeks
  • The practice materials that plan calls for
  • An introduction to my other clients for peer practice

“After failing my McKinsey interviews last month I am now preparing for BCG and needed some tweaks in my technique. […] he helped me understand my mistakes in the McKinsey final round and what I can learn from it for every new case.” Tom, verified buyer

When a Single Session Pays Off Most

  • At the start. A baseline before you spend weeks practicing the wrong things. This is usually the highest-return moment.
  • Mid-preparation. You’ve done plenty of cases and can’t tell whether you’re improving.
  • Before the first interview or a final round. You want to know how you measure against the real bar.
  • After a rejection. You want to know what went wrong before you apply again.

One Session or a Program?

Some clients start with one session. Clients average four sessions overall. Some need one session to correct a specific habit; others want the full program. If you continue with the 5-session program, this session’s fee is credited. I’d rather tell you one session is enough than sell you five you don’t need.

56 reviews for Florian Smeritschnig Case Coaching Session

  1. Jason (Verified Buyer) –

    Florian is an outstanding case coach. I did just 3 sessions with him on a very short timeline, and those sessions were pure rapid-fire case drills specifically selected for the interviewers I was about to face. Even though I had done some cases before, his preparation was extremely targeted and efficient. I’m happy to say the results speak for themselves and I walked away with 3 offers in 2 weeks. Highly recommend Florian if you want focused, high-intensity practice that actually moves the needle.

  2. Anonymous (Verified Buyer) –

    Ich habe mehrere Case Coaching Sessions bei Florian gebucht. Er hat sich für jede unserer Sessions sehr viel Zeit genommen und sich individuell auf mich eingestellt. Ich habe genaues und umsetzbares Feedback bekommen. Man merkt sofort, dass Florian ganz genau weiß wovon er spricht und ein erstklassiger Coach ist. Ich kann ihn uneingeschränkt für jegliche Art von Coaching empfehlen.

  3. Anonymous (Verified Buyer) –

    Ich habe mit Florian mehrere Case-Coachings durchgeführt und kann es nur wärmstens empfehlen!

    Die Sessions waren immer sehr angenehm und zugleich extrem produktiv und ich finde Florians Ansatz sehr logisch. Ich habe schließlich ein Angebot von Roland Berger erhalten.

  4. Marcus (Verified Buyer) –

    Highly effective for finding personal blind-spots to really perfect casing!

  5. Hendrik (Verified Buyer) –

    Florian guided my prep for a written case interview. His logical process was immensely helpful providing me with a clear perspective on structuring the analysis and getting to a recommendation. We also covered multiple presentation strategies and best practices for handling chllenges from the interviewers.

  6. Liz (Verified Buyer) –

    I engaged Florian for the final round and it was money well spent. He customized the case and feedback to my level and we talked about so many things neither I nor my peers recognized before in over 50 cases. Some observations where completely thought-provoking like the structuring strategies.

  7. Zach (Verified Buyer) –

    I received the offer for McKinsey, can it get any better!!

  8. Jin (Verified Buyer) –

    From the outset it was clear that Florian possesses unique knowledge about consulting interviews. In his explanations he balanced between big picture and details on what to do and what to pay attention to and he offered valuable perspectives and strategies to improve my performance. I have a good understanding and plan to move forward after the first session. More to come!

  9. Manuel (Verified Buyer) –

    I attended a number of sessions with Florian over the last weeks. He is a great mentor and very constructive. He played an important role in my success.

  10. R.H. (Verified Buyer) –

    Great educational experience!!!

    The case was realistic with complex exhibits and math with a twist, followed by deep and actionable feedback. The interview setting was comfortable, very realistic during the interview but also kind and encouraging during the feedback.

    Unlike other coaches who provided superficial comments on my performance, I gained insights into all aspects of the case interview and how I performed in each. We discussed different strategies to address them, think about them and communicate through them.

    I received clearly defined next steps and roadmap to practice and improve

  11. Stephanie (Verified Buyer) –

    The fit questions and comments were very thoughtful. Florian took time and interest in my story to ensure that my anwers reflect it well. I learned very precise and creative tricks enhance up my answers.

  12. Ali (Verified Buyer) –

    I had a remarkable appointment with Florian. He focused on specific areas where I needed improvement and introduced new methods of approaching and analyzing the case. I understand that he adjusted the case specifically for this session upon my request and he was very attentive to my needs. Thank you for the advice! I will continue to practice.

  13. Rajat (Verified Buyer) –

    Florian provided advanced-level feedback on my PEI stories and besides had very valuable tips to engage with my interviewer and build a connection.

  14. Ted (Verified Buyer) –

    Productive and illuminating meeting.

  15. Niels (Verified Buyer) –

    Great interviewer and coach.

    We had our first introduction call and I felt that he fully understood my background and aspirations. I booked a session and was not disappointed:

    I was somewhat at an intermediate stage with my casing with little time left before my first round and I was not sure if a coach can add value. I was fine with math but struggled with structuring. He used a case in an industry that I requested and immediately identified what I needed to change to become ‘distinctive’ in the interviewers eyes. In the feedback he guided me through the case and told me what I needed to do or where I had to change my approach. He went over a few big levers I needed to implement and many micro habits as he calls it and showed me how these changes would impact the score sheet. We ended the session by discussing practice tips and drills to work on these areas.

    Passed the first round and will book one or two more before my final round.

  16. D.C. (Verified Buyer) –

    In one case interview and one PEI meeting Florian prepped me successfully for a McKinsey summer internship on a tight timeline.

  17. Ravi (Verified Buyer) –

    First session in the books and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    1. Florian spent time and effort to introduce me to his approach. In total we spent close to 90 minute on the case and feedback.
    2. The case and the materials he shared were very high quality and the insights I gained were valuable for each part of the case. He focuses on the outcomes and the process how you get there and he shared many tips and tricks to improve structuring, become faster in math etc etc
    3. The process is well organized. 15 minutes after the session ended he sent several pages of feeedback in a color-coded Excel document, my preparation plan and access to the practice materials.

    As an experienced professional, I commend his approach to coaching.

  18. Sebastian (Verified Buyer) –

    Impressive depth of constructive feedback! Just one session gave me a clear vision for tackling cases and moving forward with my work. Florian’s approach was far from generic, he presented a complex, industry-tailored scenario, which was exactly what I needed. I wholeheartedly recommend this coaching to others. Florian is a kind-hearted, honest person and also has a good sense of humour.

  19. N.H (Verified Buyer) –

    Working with Florian for my offer was an absolute treat. He reassured me and showed a deep understanding of my situation and ambitions right away. His approach was highly personalized and he always came prepared with a case tailored to my specific development needs. Most importantly, his advice was spot on. He identifies weaknesses and areas for improvement quickly and does this with an insane level of detail orientation. He was not only pointing these out but also told me how to change and practice to internalize the newly learned skills with his drills. He also showed me how to build on my strengths which is something that I never considered before.

    Throughout our sessions, Florian was super friendly and approachable. His ability to crack a few good jokes made the learning process more enjoyable and less stressful. His expertise and friendliness made the entire coaching experience effective and worthwhile.

    One final aspect I greatly appreciated was the flexibility. He was very accommodating with scheduling and rescheduling, which helped me to balance my coaching sessions with my work commitments.

  20. tarek (Verified Buyer) –

    Finished a fruitful mock interview with Florian. Great teacher who knows his stuff insight and out. He is also very quick to reply to questions after the meeting. A+++

  21. Sophie (Verified Buyer) –

    Phenomenal case coach who drills very deep into your strengths and issues. Florians feedback is very precise and always includes clear instructions and homework. I have seen significantly better case results and confidence since our first case.

  22. Henry (Verified Buyer) –

    After reading his book I approached Florian with a very specific case question and he proposed to practice it in a real interview situation. He created a longer case around my question and we did the interview earlier today. The value of the session is hard to overstate. The case was fun and tricky, the feedback was extremely detailed and helpful. I have booked case coaching before with another coach and we did not even touch the surface of what we discussed in today’s session. Florian also provided me with tons of other stuff after the session (a summary of this method, a case cheatsheet, very detailed score card, sample solutions down to small things such as the right sentences to say at certain moments, my custom preparation plan with exercises). He also managed to remove my doubts about case studies by a large degree.

  23. joyce (Verified Buyer) –

    I am back after a bit of a break for my third session. I can strongly recommend Florian due to his deep knowledge of cases but also the consulting industry overall. He has helped me so much to chart my course and set a plan. He has a natural ability to teach and a steadfast patience that makes me very comfortable during the sessions. I tend to get very nervous in interview situations and he talked me through several techniques I can apply to calm my nerves. This was after the case and feedback was over and he spent the extra time to help.

  24. Cameron (Verified Buyer) –

    I had a very motivating session with Florian. He does an amazing job at guiding you through a case with a very simple approach. Very inspiring way to work on your problem solving. I enjoyed it a lot, thank you.

  25. Ankit (Verified Buyer) –

    I was very hesitant to engage a coach for my consulting preparation but just finished my first session with Florian and I had a great experience. We had a short introduction call before this session to go over all my questions and concerns so he could use the case session work on my issues. I immediately learned so many things I was doing wrong and ways to get to the next level on the scoring sheet. Florian was very patient and encouraging and sent me detailed feedback with an action plan to improve. I am looking forward to the next session and see my progress.

  26. M.Y. (Verified Buyer) –

    I contacted Florian through a recommendation of my friend who received offers last year and we worked on a bunch of cases and PEI stories together. His interview style is very professional and he always has his poker face during the interview which I found to be exactly like in my McKinsey interviews, friendly but not revealing anything about my performance or if they liked my answers. When the interview was over he always switched back to feedback mode and was very amiable. The feedback that we discussed in each meeting was incredibly detailed and nuanced from general things to a lot of details that make you stand out in front of interviewers. For PEI, he told me exactly how to tell my stories and what to adjust to get the highest scores.

    After every session he sent a scorecard and detailed evaluation for each element of the case with a homework plan. Every session we had took more than the allocated time and Florian was very patient with answering questions or extending just to discuss all details of the case and my performance. He was very responsive and approachable after each session helping me to clarify open questions or things I thought about later.

    I already received offers with McKinsey and Bain and now canceled my BCG recruitment. I am very thankful for what I/we have achieved and I can only recommend working with him.

  27. Samy (Verified Buyer) –

    Outstanding first meeting. I have worked with a few case coaches before and this was by far the most insightful experience. Florian deconstructed the whole case into bite-sized chunks and has a very clear step-by-step methodology to tackle them and a way of thinking that helps you come up with frameworks, understand charts, perform math quickly etc. He is also very nice and approachable.

    Can only recommend and I look forward to the rest of the program.

  28. J. (Verified Buyer) –

    I clearly recommend Florian as a case interviewer and trainer for the amount of effort he put into every session, the things I learned and finally the successful offer I wanted. Kudos to what you have built and how you guide people through your program!

  29. Adam (Verified Buyer) –

    I had two fantastic meetings with Florian and I want to share my experience:

    The first meeting covered a challenging McKinsey case with a long feedback discussion. There was no time limit and we went way over time (he rescheduled a call at the end of the first session to finish going through all my questions). It is hard to describe the feedback in detail but we covered EVERYTHING (80/20 items and finetuning). Florian generously offered to review my resume after this first meeting.

    In the second meeting we discussed three PEI stories presumably in the same way as they will be discussed in the actual interviews. He provided thorough feedback on my stories and communication. We even had time to briefly brainstorm some backup stories and address general fit questions (like the 3 whys). This session also took much longer than planned.

    Florian followed up twice with written feedback and action items for me to work on.

    I was not a complete beginner but I learned so much in both sessions and now I am excited to work on my applications and interview preparation. I will hopefully book more sessions soon.

  30. Moritz (Verified Buyer) –

    Thank you for the great session and your help!

  31. Park (Verified Buyer) –

    Totally worth the investment:

    1. Very engaging case about a modern topic (ESG) professionally conducted
    2. Extremely detailed feedback and scoring sheet – because of the feedback the meeting took almost 2 hours. The feedback was focused on my strengths and weaknesses. It was professional and highlighted what I need to work on but at the same time warm and friendly
    3. Clear plan on my next steps and to-dos for the coming weeks

    What I value highly is that Florian did not try to sell more sessions but discouraged me from booking another session for now as “I am strong enough now to work on my own and internalize the habits.” I really appreciate the honesty and approach.

  32. P.F (Verified Buyer) –

    Another great session. Today was very helpful and encouraging. Florian is very kind with his time he puts his energy and determination into every session.

  33. Tom (Verified Buyer) –

    I just had a great session to work on my approach for candidate-led cases. After failing my McKinsey interviews last month I am now preparing for BCG and needed some tweaks in my technique. Florian was very generous with his time and before we started the BCG case practice, he helped me understand my mistakes in the McKinsey final round and what I can learn from it for every new case. I honestly wish I had found him earlier.

    The mock case itself was challenging and longer than usual but what really surprised me was the detailed and methodical feedback I received. We went very deep to discuss my performance, strengths and weaknesses and Florian taught me a completely new approach for every step of the case. It’s all about what you do, how you think, and how to communicate. Very impressive and intuitive to adopt. I received a preparation plan and the detailed feedback notes 20 minutes later.

    Thank you very much. I will book at least one more session.

    -T

  34. Amar (Verified Buyer) –

    Amazing depth of feedback and insights. After one session I felt really enlightened about how to approach a case and how to proceed with my practice. The session was not cheap but worth every penny. Florian did not just give me a random case but a very difficult and creative one after I asked for a specific industry. I would 100% recommend the coaching.

  35. Celeste (Verified Buyer) –

    Accenture offer is mine after 3 sessions. Incredibly grateful for the meticulous feedback Florian provided. Could not be more happy with what I learned and the outcome.

  36. Simon (Verified Buyer) –

    The two sessions with Florian were exceptionally well structured! I learned more in these three hours than I did in the month before on my own. In the first session, we worked on a challenging case on the healthcare system in the UK. The case was difficult with some twists and turns and the feedback was very helpful and super exhaustive. I was surprised by the detailed evaluation sheet and scorecards that I received after the session that covered everything we discussed and even more things such as practice cases. The session lasted more than 1.5 hours. In the second session, we simulated one Mckinsey PEI question with feedback for around 30 minutes and then worked on more general fit questions (both standard and difficult ones for the remainder of the time).

    In both sessions, Florian took a lot of time to answer any questions and listen to all my concerns.

  37. I. (Verified Buyer) –

    Florian is an excellent mentor and was very patient with my performance. In just one session he made me feel so much more confident in the last stages of preparation for my final round interview last week. He told me what small chances to make and how to practice in the final days. While the changes were small their impact on my thinking and presentation was huge.

    I just got the call with the offer and the interviewer was full of praise for the depth of my approach and structured communication. Thank you so much!

  38. L. (Verified Buyer) –

    Florian is definitely the BEST out there.

    1. I reached Florian through the super quality content StrategyCase.com has to offer.
    2. After that, I purchased the product designed to help with McKinsey Problem Solving Game that was made by Florian and proved itself as outstanding and practically made me a master of the real game when I faced it in real time 🙂
    3. I already knew Florian is an exceptional professional and a very kind and thoughtful person as I asked for his advice a few times, but only when we started our coaching sessions I realized to what extent.
    Beyond the fact that Florian is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, and caring which makes him the best coach you could ask for professionally, he also has a great character – his patience, responsiveness, and kindness all make the sessions and overall communication not just super helpful but enjoyable as well.

    If you really want to get an offer from top consulting firms, using Florian’s materials and especially the coaching sessions will definitely pay off!

    Good luck to everyone 🙂

  39. Jonas (Verified Buyer) –

    As the first one in my family who did his a-levels, from a non-target-school and as an exoticism’s (non-economic)-Backround, I had all the disadvantages to land an offer from McK.

    But Florian helped me to translate my skills into an offer.

    1) he coached me for two cases to learn the method,
    2) He did a math drill,
    3) He did several PEI sessions with me and corrected my final version,
    4) I got the offer !

  40. Theo (Verified Buyer) –

    I am getting back to add to me previous review. Again, I highly recommend working with Florian.

    I’ve decided to book 3 more sessions with Florian, 5 days before my final round interviews. These were critical to the final stage of my preparation and were structured like this:

    1) Initially, we did a 2-hour sessions focused on PEI, where we went through all of my stories. I have worked a lot on my stories before, but with Florian’s mentoring I was able to polish them and take them to another level. After the session, I’ve incorporated the feedback and sent them to him. Florian added specific and detailed comments.

    2) We also went through a case interview, a very interesting one where I fine-tuned my performance and got confidence ahead of the last round. The feedback that Florian provides is very exhaustive and detailed, followed up with a written form.

    All in all, I went on my interviews feeling very sure and confident about myself. I believe that this came from what Florian says: “Once you have your PEI stories ready, you have nothing to fear”. The Personal Experience Part is very important during final round interviews, as not only it is assessed a lot but also it sets up the initial impression and creates rapport with the interviewer. I would not be able to reach this level of confidence without Florian’s guidance and mentorship. Adding to that the case interview session we had, the mini “Ready for McKinsey” programme we had together, was vital for the success!

    Thank you very much Florian!

    Having worked with Florian, I can highly recommend him for 3 reasons:

    1) He tailored the session specifically to what I had asked before and we went through a very broad and exhaustive in every area case. This is very important as this is the only way to find pain points in a candidate’s performance.

    2) His feedback is very structured, exhaustive and personalised. He recommends specific action plans on how to improve on each category and runs examples to make them more clear. After the sessions, he goes the extra step and provides a short report with his feedback, which is very helpful indeed.

    3) Most importantly, he is very sincere and straightforward and you can be sure that when he is suggests a plan with next sessions, he does it because he believes that the candidate needs them and not just to sell more sessions. This is very important because other coaches show you from the initial information call that what they prioritize from you is to book as many sessions with them as possible, no matter what. Personally, I want to work with people that are trustworthy and show genuine interest and Florian surely is one of them. He also keeps in touch politely with the candidates and offers help.

    All in all, I definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to get into MBB or other consulting companies.

    I definitely recommend to other candidates to practice with Florian. I liked his detailed and pinpointed comments on each different types of questions and the debrief notes he sent me afterwards. He let me know what I am good at and what I need to improve further. Very effective coaching session!

    I had one mock interview solely focusing on the personal fit part of the interview and it prepared me for all the dimensions and stories that you need in the McKinsey PEI. I loved it because it was a very efficient way of prepping. Had no surprises afterwards in the real interviews! Also, follow up questions were answered promptly and exhaustively! I will recommend to others/ tell them what’s important about the personal experience interview.

  44. Sybren (Verified Buyer) –

    Got it recommended by a friend, booked the case practice for the same day, quick and easy. I really liked it since it’s kind of a different approach, really focusing on structure and creativity during the case interview. I did two more case practices with Florian within 3 days and benefited a lot from it!

  45. Hannah (Verified Buyer) –

    I usually refrain from writing reviews, but I have to make an exception here. Florian went above and beyond helping me with my case practice. Even though I just booked a normal case mock interview, after we finished the case, we did almost an hour of feedback, also touching on other aspects of case interviews and more general questions. He does not get tired to reiterate certain habits that I should internalize to effectively move through the business problems. We talked through several other cases I did with my friends where I was quite unsure about my approach to the problem. He helped me frame them and go through some issues I had. I hope to make these changes stick and be able to translate what I learned in the coming cases. My confidence has improved through this coaching. After we talked, I got an email with an evaluation sheet, briefly summarizing what we discussed including improvement advice. The whole interview which almost lasted two hours was much cheaper than other case coaches I was researching. I already booked my next case practice with him. Thanks!!!

  46. Eric (Verified Buyer) –

    I would absolutely recommend the experience. The whole process was flawless and I ended up doing 5 interviews. The feedback is very detailed and extensive and I have learned a completely new way of attacking cases. The coaching extends outside of the practice calls and the team was very responsive to my email questions. I landed 2 out of 3 mbb offers and accepted the one I was striving for.

  47. Stefan (Verified Buyer) –

    I got the offer!!! The approach I learned during a few case practice sessions here helped me to go into the interview confidently. The coach is super diligent with drilling in the right habits to tackle every problem. I passed both interview rounds and could not be happer!!!

  48. Alice (Verified Buyer) –

    Florian is an amazing coach. He provides constructive feedback and his comments are very spot on. I can feel my improvement after each session. Thanks Florian!

  49. Johannes (Verified Buyer) –

    I practiced two cases with a very detailed debrief from which I took a lot. The case itself covered everything that is included in the actual interviews and feels very real. It was nice to do one case in English and one in German.

  50. Mark (Verified Buyer) –

    The interviews were amazingly on-point and really reflected what I went through a week later with McKinsey. I have booked the package and the feedback I got and tricks I learned were golden. I am confident that this made the difference for me to receive my offer.

  51. Robert (Verified Buyer) –

    The interview practice feels very real and the feedback that I got afterwards is very thorough and helpful. I think it needs a few more sessions either here or with peers to make the habits stick. I definitely had a steep learning experience during the interview and two A4 pages of feedback notes.

  52. Julio E. (Verified Buyer) –

    did 3 cases with Florian (drugs, fast food, helmets). it comes with a steep learning curve and very detailed de-brief/ feedback. liked it a lot!

  53. Aaron (Verified Buyer) –

    Bought both the applications and 4 private case interview preparation interviews with the team. Both helped me tremendously!

  54. Jeff (Verified Buyer) –

    Straightforward and super practical advice. Will book another few rounds before my actual interviews…

  55. Deepti (Verified Buyer) –

    the interview covered all important sections; feedback and debrief was very thorough

  56. Michael (Verified Buyer) –

    Had three sessions while preparing for BCG, Bain, and ATK. The feedback I got during the first case helped me to overcome some sticking points. In the latter two cases I solidified the habits. Can recommend it!
