John has helped clients get into these companies:
What's up, I'm John Kreider! I'm a first generation college student and former Senior Associate Consultant at Bain & Company. I have personally done over 100 cases and given hundred more, helping dozens of students get offers at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. I've also gotten others hired from industry, which is an uncommon strength. I was a part of Bain's recruiting team and started 1GEN at Bain (now called "First at Bain"), the affinity group for first generation college students/those from low-income backgrounds (FGLI). My biggest value is that I go beyond case interview prep and instead focus on how to 1) get the interview, 2) nail the soft skills, and 3) case interview perfectly.
John can help with:
Case Interview Prep
Presentations
Resume Review
Networking Strategy
Frameworks
Behavioral Interview Prep
About John
What's up, I'm John Kreider! I'm a first generation college student, was a Senior Associate Consultant at Bain & Company and Private Equity as an Associate, and I am a current student at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. I split my time on Leland between VC / PE coaching and MBB case interview prep. On the VC / PE side, I have helped many to prepare for their interviews, from modeling out customer retention all the way to preparing for the interview itself. On the MBB case interview side, I have personally done over 100 cases and given hundred more, helping dozens of students get offers at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. I've also gotten others hired from industry, which is an uncommon strength.
Why do I coach?
I have unique insights into how to interview, and as a founder of one of Bain's largest affinity groups, I can help you with the networking path.
