Is it really worthwhile to use coach to prepare MBB interview? I did a quite amount of cases but failed last time for Bain/McK. I want to make it this time but whether it's really useful resource over doing more case with peers. How was your experience if you had them? McK interview is lined up soon

This is solely dependent on your casing partners. Will theu properly prep the case by working it completely beforehand. Can they give quality feedback that is useful and you can take action to improve. Yes practice makes you better, but only good structured practice with quality feedback. You can improve faster with less reps with a quality coach... whether paid for or free.

Bit consider what you did last time didn’t work.

I assume you're working already so you're not totally broke. You might as well spend the money on it.

If you spend the money and get it, you'll be so happy you won't care you spent the money

If you spend the money and don't get it, at least you'll know you tried everything reasonably possible

If you don't spend the money and don't get it you'll kick yourself.

Hopefully you got feedback from your first try. So you know what to focus on. Don't skip PEI prep it's just as important.

I used a coach who only focused on McKinsey and it worked out very well for me. They really teach you exactly how to do think in the MBB way and answer in the way they care about. Especially for McKinsey PEI, it is so unique and different that I would’ve not known how to answer properly without guidance.
