Has anyone taken help from 'Management Consulted' or similar interview prep company?

I have a case interview for one of the MBBs coming up in few weeks. I know they are costly but if it works, ROI is greater.

I haven’t but know some people that have. People who got into MBB (at least based on my knowledge) didn’t spend extra $$$ on ‘expert’ case prep, but I know they did a lot of cases with other classmates and also did a ton of networking and got case practice from alums at MBB / got feedback.

I have done mc.com and got an MBB offer. Happy to provide more thoughts. DM!

Lol I never mentioned when I got the offer. Stop hypothesizing unnecessarily. I’ll be joining one of MBB in October.
