S23E20: The 4 Case Prep Gaps Costing You the Offer
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The reality of MBB recruiting: 100 candidates apply. 15 get an interview. 1 gets the offer.
Most of the 99 who don't get it aren't underqualified. They just had a bad plan.
Kabreya Ghaderi, who coached hundreds of candidates and spent time at McKinsey, PwC, and Bridgespan, sees strong candidates still miss because their prep plan has a hole in it they can't see from the inside.
In this episode, Kabreya walks through the 4 gaps that sink even candidates who are doing everything "right." What stood out:
- Logging more cases can actually lock in the wrong habits, faster
- One candidate did 80 practice cases and was still nowhere near ready
- Feeling ready and being ready are two different things, and most people can't tell which one they are
