Imagine sitting across from a McKinsey partner who holds your career dreams in their hands. Your palms sweat as they slide a business problem across the table. What happens next determines everything. This is the reality of consulting interviews - where acceptance rates hover around 1%, making Harvard look easy by comparison. But there's a secret weapon used by those who succeed: Victor Cheng's proven methodology. When even current consultants at McKinsey, BCG, and Bain need to sharpen their skills, they turn to Cheng's approach. Why? Because it teaches you to think like a consultant rather than merely memorize frameworks - a distinction that has helped countless candidates from non-traditional backgrounds secure coveted positions after initially failing.
