I've used it - I like it a lot. And very easy to set up. Not necessarily the base cases though.

Used prep lounge, found it great for peer practice but also paid for mock interviews with ex consultants - really good for confidence

*best cases

Thanks guys. @SC1 it looks like the coaching itself is pretty expensive (over a grand upfront or 1 month salary after you get an offer). Given I have plenty of friends that are current consultants do you think it's worth it?

S& are you looking for a Case partner?

@TA1 how did you guess haha? Are you looking to practice?

I am, do you have a burner by chance?

Oh it was just pay as you go when I was doing it over 2 years ago. Just paid ~$100 for a one off session with an ex consultant. $1000 does sound a bit too much...

If your friends are interviewers in their firms then no need to shell out on prep lounge

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
