You don't need 50 frameworks or $500/hour coaching. You need the timeless fundamentals that drive disproportionate results. 8020 is the definitive playbook, straight from a McKinsey Gold Badge recruiter.
I spent a decade inside the Firm, operating across 6 offices on 4 continents. I wasn't just surviving; I was the first in my class to be double-promoted. I hold the 'Recruiting Gold Badge' for interviewing thousands of candidates and leading training for new associates. I know exactly why we reject brilliant people.
The system profits from your anxiety. They teach you to sound like a robotic caricature. If I hear one more candidate say, "First, let me state the hypothesis," or reference the "4 Ps", I know they haven't learned how to think. That's not consulting; that's cringe. And it gets you rejected.
Stop memorizing the 7 Cs. It makes you sound robotic, not strategic. Over-preparation is just as dangerous as under-preparation.
The system is rigged. Elite knowledge shouldn't be hidden behind predatory pricing by coaches who couldn't hack the actual job.
Nervousness kills more interviews than lack of prep. The real danger is sounding like a robot who crumbles when the interview goes off-script.
You don't learn to ride a bike by memorizing a "Bicycle Framework." You learn by understanding the fundamentals, seeing it done, and then practicing until it's instinct. Case interviews test raw problem-solving, not industry knowledge. 8020 teaches you how to ride the bike.
8020 isn't a course. It's an apprenticeship in the timeless fundamentals that drive disproportionate results.
50% of the game is mindset. We use science-backed methods (breathing techniques, visualization) to eliminate nervousness and build the unshakable presence of a partner.
We ditch the frameworks and link core concepts. Learn to solve problems you've never seen before.
The only system covering the entire journey: Breaking In (The Interview), Excelling (The Job), and Exiting (The Future).
Lessons are sharp, fast, and fun. If you're not enjoying the process, you won't perform on game day.
"Finally, someone who gets it. I went from constant rejection to McKinsey offer in 3 months. The mindset shift was everything."
"I was burning out on case prep until I found 8020. Now I'm at Bain and actually enjoying the work. This isn't just interview prep—it's career prep."
Consulting changed my life. It lifted my income potential and sponsored my grad school at Stanford and Harvard. But I remember sweating over a $400 hotel reimbursement the night before my McKinsey interview. The industry locks talent out with predatory pricing. I'm kicking the door down.
I hate subscriptions. You get everything, forever. One Tier. One Payment. We provide the highest value at the most accessible price. Period.
