About the Author
Dr. Florian Smeritschnig
I am a former McKinsey consultant and currently working as an advisor and early-stage VC investor. Since I started case coaching, I have become the most successful MBB case coach on the internet. Over the last 4 years alone I have conducted more than 2,000 interviews via PrepLounge and StrategyCase.com and helped generate hundreds of offers for my clients with MBB, tier-2 firms, the Big 4, inhoue consulting and boutique firms. 190+ of these offers were solely for McKinsey, the hardest firm in the world to get in (according to Forbes). I made it my mission to make top-tier consulting careers more accessible to everyone. The book The 1% combines everything I have learned and taught about consulting case and fit interviews for top-tier firms over the last ten years. I share with you my highly effective secrets for success that were previously only available to my coaching clients.

Don’t take my word for it – here’s what my clients say:
For all reviews 600+ 5-star reviews on PrepLounge.com, click here.Florian’s help is worth every penny! His coaching and structured approach have given me the tools I needed to improve my case skills dramatically. I went from struggling to go through a case to passing the first round with “outstanding performance.” Follow what he says, put in the work and you’re bound to land an offer.
Florian has very deep knowledge about the process, the interviews and the different types of case questions. After the coaching sessions, I had a clear picture of the upcoming interviews and felt very well prepared. I did not experience any surprises during the interview day and got my offer right after lunch without having further interviews in the afternoon.
I just got an offer from McKinsey! Florian’s instructions are the MOST constructive that I have ever seen in my 100+ case practices. I institutionalized his advice into my practice and reached a new level.
I can tell why they call him the best for McKinsey prep. His feedback and knowledge was concise and informative, leaving no stone unturned. His expert knowledge on case prep and how MBB views applicants is second to none.
