Real lessons come from real work, struggles, and frustrations.

In this episode, we talk about our own preparation journey as candidates and our period helping hundreds of candidates get jobs in consulting firms.

We also share how our experience as case coaches forced us to create content that helps solve real candidates' problems and the full story behind Crafting Cases.
