Hey Consultant!

It's quite shocking to see how many high potential junior consultants fail in their first months on the job. 

The problem is: Although your firm sells you as a fully operational resource from day 1, they won't put you through any intense training beforehand. In order to have a successful start as a junior consultant, you will need to know more than just how to solve case studies, brainteasers or math quizzes. 

Think about it - Your client will pay a high 4-digit daily rate for you. It's only normal he will expect you to create a lot of value right from day 1. 

The good message is: Being able to perform well right from the start is just a question of the right skills and knowledge. However, most ambitious junior consultants all have to go through the tough and inefficient lesson of trial and error to get there. We want to change that:

With the ConsultingPerfection Masterclass we want to support you in becoming the best new hire consultant of your firm! 

In this course, you will find the essence of what successful management consultants learn in their first 2 years. With that knowledge, you will have a significantly better starting position compared to other new hires who start unprepared and have to learn this the hard way. 

If you actively learn, train and execute the content of this course, we have no doubt that you will be on your best way to a super successful consulting career!

Marc Rieke

Founder & CEO ConsultingPerfection

As an active Senior Associate with more than 3 years of experience at two top management consulting firms, I am very aware of the challenges many new hire consultants are facing. From onboarding and managing many new hires, I can tell that especially in your first months on the job, the gap between what is expected from you and what you are able to deliver is often the biggest. Since the required skills are not taught at universities or during official onboarding trainings, I decided to develop a training program tailored to the needs of new hire management consultants.

FAQ

  • When should I work through the course and how much time will I need?

    Ideally, you want to work through the entire course before your first day on the job. This will create the best possible starting position for you. However, don't worry if you can't work through the entire course before your first day - in that case concentrate on the delivering on project team expectations first. The video lessons in this course add up to 5 hours of content. In total, you will require around 10 hours to work through the entire course. You can work on the course in the speed you want.

  • I will start as a consulting intern. Is this course also for me?

    Absolutely! Since you will have to demonstrate similar skills like your full-time new hire colleagues, it makes a lot of sense to prepare for your internship with this course.

    You will have lifetime access to this course
