Consulting Fit Interview Masterclass

The Ultimate Guide to Acing Fit Interviews Across All Consulting Firms

Created by Dr. Florian Smeritschnig, a former McKinsey consultant, this comprehensive course draws from over a decade of consulting expertise. After conducting nearly 2,000 coaching interviews globally, I have seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t – insights I’m excited to share with you in this comprehensive course.

As a visiting lecturer at top universities across Europe, the US, and Asia, and author of a bestselling book on case interviews, I’ve observed that candidates consistently underestimate the importance of the fit interview.

This course aims to change that.
