The guy Sidi Kone from MBB machine is full of bulls**t. The reason you see a lot of offers from MBB machine is because they all are in Europe. MBBs have hired head hunters and have close contacts to at least establish the first connection with recruiters. MBB machine is one of them.
So it’s good right? The fact that he has close contacts, not sure what’s so wrong about this? Assuming everyone is working hard and case prepping, whatever gives you a leg up, so why shit on Sidi Kone guy?
I‘ll let REAL MBB Consultants do the talk! Why would anyone listen to anonymous folks in an anonymous forum, while actual MBB consultants who used The MBB Offer Machine to land their offers are full of praise?

I recently engaged with The MBB Offer Machine™ by filling out their online form for a free 15-minute consultation. Initially, things seemed promising as I received prompt responses and scheduled a call with Jorn from their team, facilitated by Luke who sent a calendar invite. However, after providing my CV as requested, I was informed by Jorn that they couldn't support me, and the scheduled call was abruptly canceled. Despite seeking support and feedback, I was left bewildered and disappointed by the sudden turn of events. This experience raises serious doubts about the legitimacy of their services. It's disheartening to have invested time and energy into what turned out to be a fruitless endeavor.
Dear Arifah,
as you correctly stated, you have not become a client in our coaching. Thereby, you also of course do not have any experience with the content and process of this coaching programme.
That being said – we understand and regret the disappointment you felt following our decision not to proceed with your case.
We want to assert that our decision-making process, particularly in selecting clients for our coaching services, is rigorous and intentional. The integrity of our coaching system is our foremost priority, and this often involves tough decisions like not accepting every applicant. This is not a reflection of the applicant's potential but a necessary step to ensure that we can provide exceptional value and maintain the high standards of our service.
The decision not to proceed with your application was made after careful consideration. It is an embodiment of our commitment to NOT just sell our service to everyone who is willing to pay, but to maintain a system that truly benefits those we believe we can most effectively assist.
We understand that this might be disappointing, but it is a decision made with the best intentions – also for you! This process is designed not only to assess the potential success of our collaboration, but also to avoid the wastage of resources – both YOURS and ours.
We appreciate your interest in The MBB Offer Machine™ and wish you success in your future endeavors.
Best regards,
The MBB Offer Machine™ Team
I still have the same question, are they legit? And what's their cost like?
Coach
Imo all the programs are overrated, unless you’re using them for accountability. Find good case partners and do live practice
Coach
Yes, with good case partners who can invest in giving you good feedback
