MyConsultingCoach Values

We started MyConsultingCoach in 2016 because, at the time, consulting prep platforms had three major limitations:

• They focused heavily on frameworks and shortcuts.
• They were often very expensive.
• They lacked transparency.

From these challenges, three core values were born:

1. Understanding: We’re here to teach you how to think like a consultant, not just memorize frameworks. Real success in consulting comes from understanding how to break down complex problems and create practical solutions—skills you’ll carry into your career.

2. Value: Quality preparation shouldn’t break the bank. We’ve built MyConsultingCoach to provide the best value for money, so you can access top-notch resources without worrying about hefty price tags.

3. Transparency: We believe in creating a safe and supportive space for candidates. That means no aggressive marketing strategies, no hidden funnels, and no gimmicky prices that end in 7! Just honest guidance to help you succeed.

Over the years, we’ve evolved into a freemium platform that offers tools and support for each stage of the application process. In the rest of this post, we’ll walk through the typical application funnel and show you how MyConsultingCoach can support you every step of the way.

Application steps 

MyConsultingCoach offers support throughout the application funnel. 

1. Discovery

Description
The first step in preparing for a consulting career is understanding whether it aligns with your long-term goals and strengths. Discovery is all about exploring what consulting involves, from the day-to-day work to the lifestyle and career trajectory. It’s a crucial moment to reflect on whether this path fits your personal and professional aspirations.

2. Landing an Interview

Description
Once you’ve decided to pursue consulting, the next crucial step is securing an interview. This involves building a strong personal brand through networking, crafting a polished resume, and writing a compelling cover letter. At this stage, it’s all about making a memorable first impression that showcases your skills, experience, and potential.

3. Screening Tests

Description
Many consulting firms use automated screening tests to prescreen candidates before moving them to the interview stage. These tests can range from simpler SHL-style assessments to more complex, firm-specific tests depending on the company. They are designed to evaluate your problem-solving skills, logical reasoning, and sometimes even industry knowledge.
