MCO Bootcamp FAQ

Yes, there are hundreds of extra materials in addition to the bootcamp modules provided.

We have templates for resumes, checklists, case libraries, proprietary homework, and so much more bonus materials you get access to when you enroll.

The bootcamp is not only geared to how recruiting works in the USA – we are a global team and most firms have global hiring practices so these are incorporated throughout so that regardless of which offices you are applying to you have access to the information you need.

You will not receive 1:1 sessions on resume, cover letter, or case coaching if you are enrolled in the bootcamp only; however, you can upgrade when you are close to applying or interviewing to get started with a coach who will give you personalized 1:1 support.

We get this question a lot from clients who have tried other services and noticed that their materials were outdated, or hadn’t been updated recently.

Because the consulting landscape is continuously changing, we conduct periodic reviews with the firms themselves to update and expand our offerings.

We keep our finger on the pulse with respect to what’s going on in the industry by connecting with clients who are now in consulting, recruiters at the firms we help our clients to get roles with, and other public and internal updates.

There is no expiration date. Go on at your own pace without worrying about losing anything.

We also stay close with the firms themselves so if there are changes to hiring or interview practices, you will get the updated materials and homeworks as we add more.

Our goal is for you to always have the most up to date information.

If you were to watch every module in the consulting bootcamp, the total time is ~23 hours; covering everything from what consultants really do, to securing interview invites, to mastering and passing the case and fit interviews in the most effective and fast way so you are not wasting time or building bad habits that get candidates rejected.

You are not required to go through every module before working with your coaches – it is up to you to decide how and when you want to use the bootcamp, so focus on the modules that are the most relevant to you at that time and if you are short on time but still want to know which modules to focus on, we have recommendations so you can get to what you need in less than an afternoon.

In total, there are 16 modules included in the bootcamp.

Each module has various lessons which breakdown everything you need to know land a job in consulting from start to finish.

The point of our bootcamp is to give you the insider information we’ve learned from being on the inside at these firms – it’s the information you wouldn’t go ask current recruiters and can’t find on Google.

Yes, if you upgrade to our full coaching program, the cost of the bootcamp will be deducted from the overall program fee.

It doesn’t cost you more to start with the bootcamp and then add a coaching program since you will just pay the difference between programs.

We always want to be consistent across our community when it comes to pricing.

No, the bootcamp can be used when recruiting for both generalist and specialist consulting positions at these firms. We’ve helped clients with several different types of roles at these firms.

No, the bootcamp is also be geared towards experienced hires (those who have already graduated and have work experience) as well as nuances for each hiring stream (MBAs, PhDs/Advanced Degrees, undergraduates, non-MBA masters) and it provides what you need for both summer internships and full-time hiring.

Our team frequently checks and responds to any questions on the course material. You will have the option of commenting directly on the module, or reaching out to our support team for further support.

You will have a personal point of contact at MCO that you will be introduced to if you start with just the bootcamp to help field questions if any come up as well.

The bootcamp consists of video modules walking you through each lesson as well as proprietary casing drills, homework, and a case bank with 1,000+ cases for you to use.

The drills and homework are built by former consultants/interviewers who wrote the cases at these firms and they are designed to teach you to think like a consultant and break down the parts of the case in a way that will allow you to master everything you need to know quickly and effectively.

A full breakdown of the content can be found here.

How fast or slow you choose to work through the materials is up to you – but if you are looking for a guide, we have created a recommended schedule which you can use as a reference here.

We suggest upgrading to work with a coach when you are 3-6 months from applying or interviewing for consulting positions.

Working with one of our coaches closer to when you are going to be applying or interviewing is recommended, and this time frame will give you a good amount of time to master everything you need to know to land offers.

Your coaches will also help you plan your timing for your sessions so you can get the most out of our program and time together. If you need help deciding if it is the right time for you to update, you will have a meeting with one of our Enrollment Specialists to discuss what works best for you.

The bootcamp is taught by Davis Nguyen, our founder and CEO.

Davis is a former Bain consultant, who has helped get over 500+ clients into consulting.

Davis did not build this bootcamp on his own though – our team of global recruiters, consultants, managers, partners and interviewers worked together to build the training.
