About Vi
Welcome! I've helped 50+ people through case prep, resume reviews, and behavioral prep. My clients have gotten offers from McKinsey, Bain, BCG, EY-Parthenon, Strategy&, Oliver Wyman, and more! I offer 3 services: 1) McKinsey, Bain, BCG (MBB) + Big4 interview case prep: each firm emphasizes a unique angle and I can help you highlight those areas 2) Resume review (particularly for consulting and tech firms, and MBA applications) 3) Behavioral interview prep (particularly for consulting, strategy & ops, and business operations roles) I was coached by Partners at MBB and Big4, MBB interviewers, and case book writers (incl. founder of Hacking the Case Interview). My clients tend to praise me for my supportive demeanor while still delivering strict + direct feedback. Let me help you land your dream job!
Why do I coach?
As a 1st gen, I've been privileged to find incredible mentors throughout my career. I know how daunting the MBA application, case interview, and career navigation processes can be. I differentiate myself by being hyper-focused on building a clear overall strategy for your career + detailed tactical plan in achieving your short term milestones. Throughout my experience, I've loved mentoring and helping people achieve their goals across different aspects I am passionate about - (1) Selected to work with Adam Grant for a 1 year program to advise ~80 MBA students on leadership management (2) Elected as the VP of Student Academic Affairs at Haas School of Business, developing and overseeing career programs for 800+ students (3) Led Bain's First Gen Low Income affinity group for ~100 consultants - creating mentorship programs, career advising sessions, etc. (4) Volunteered as a weekend teacher mentoring ~20 kids from low-income backgrounds (5) Published a cookbook that is sold internationally, including global chains such as Kinokuniya
