What is TCO

What is it: The Consulting Offer (TCO) is the video/audio subscription streaming program through which we train subscribers to prepare for case interviews. You will see/read/hear the acronym a lot.

The Consulting Offer (TCO) is a case interview training program where we admit REAL participants and train them using ex-McKinsey, BCG et al partners using the techniques we developed in our 1-on-1 coaching programs where we have an 80% placement rate for just McKinsey, BCG, and Bain. The placement rate is close to 100% when we include other consulting firms, PE and VC firms, and technology companies. We either audio and record the entire TCO process, edit it and release the program to our subscribers. You can see real participants go through the entire interview process all the way to an offer for the best performers.

The show is now in its 6th season. We usually admit 2 to 4 participants per season. TCO is an elimination based-training program. We admit clients with the expectation that only those who meet the standards of the program and can keep improving, may continue to the end and be placed at McKinsey, Bain & BCG.

There is NO other program in the world with real candidates being trained in real time with the results made public.

Firmsconsulting LLC owns the worldwide rights.

Disclaimer. TCO is a paid subscription-only streaming program. We offer so much information about TCO because it is the primary program we use to teach case interviews, in addition to our free blog, podcasts on iTunes and videos on Youtube. TCO is also the largest case interview training library of audio-visual content in the world.

What we did: Across 6 seasons, 7 years and counting, we brought together 16 candidates from 12 universities and 9 countries (USA, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Russia, France, Armenia, China, Canada, and India) to train them primarily for US offices. The TCO program runs every year with new participants.

How successful is TCO?: TCO alumni are successful by every objective measure. In every season we have placed participants in McKinsey, Bain or BCG and we have placed all participants in management consulting firms or internal business units when other good firms like Deloitte S&O are included. One TCO participant is a principal having joined as a consultant. Only one participant has left McKinsey to join another firm where she is on a partnership track.

What does TCO contain?: Subscribers receive access to all the audio/video coaching sessions and solutions videos. Where they were recorded, the video diaries and networking calls of the participants are captured, including there resume editing process etc.
