Stages

Every stage of the path

Work the stages in order the first time through. After that, your readiness scores and the Interviewer's diagnosis route you to the stage that fixes your weakest point.

Stage 0

The Industry Explained

What consulting firms and finance teams actually do all day, how the work is staffed, and how hiring decisions get made. Start here if the words strategy and coverage still feel vague.

Stage 1

Timeline and Targeting

Two calendars run this process, one for consulting and one for finance, and they do not move together. This stage puts your class year on both and sets a target list you can actually finish.

Stage 2

The Resume Screen

Your resume gets seconds before a person decides. This stage rebuilds it line by line for the screen it will actually face, and covers the cover letter for the firms that still read one.

Stage 3

Networking That Gets Replies

Cold outreach fails when it asks for too much and says too little. This stage gives you a working system: who to contact, what to write, and how to run the call once someone answers.

Stage 4

Case Math

Case math is arithmetic under pressure, done out loud, with no calculator. This stage builds the speed and the narration habit together. The first briefing in this stage is free.

Stage 7

The Final Round

The final round is a different test from the first. This stage covers first rounds, second rounds, and final rounds separately, including partner level conversations and what changes when the interviewer stops leading.

Playbook

The Clubs Playbook

Wing

The Finance Wing

Banking and finance interviews test technical knowledge directly. This wing covers accounting, valuation, and the market questions, at the depth an interview actually reaches.

Wing

Accounting, LBO, and Modeling

Banking interviews test accounting the way case interviews test structure: directly, and at working depth. This track inside the Finance Wing builds the three statements as one system, drills transaction effects until they are reflexes, and then builds free cash flow, LBO mechanics, and modeling on top of them. The first briefing in this track is free.
