Yang Yu spent 8 years in healthcare and life sciences before pursuing an evening MBA at Chicago Booth with his sights set on consulting. 

His first recruiting attempt ended without the offer he wanted. His second? 3 top-tier offers, including McKinsey, Bain, and PwC Strategy&.

In this episode, Yang breaks down exactly what changed – and how he stayed grounded when the pressure was highest, including a Halloween night offer call he'll never forget.

We cover:

• Why doing more cases doesn't mean doing better cases
• His 3-step reflection framework for identifying and fixing blind spots
• How he tailored his prep firm-by-firm – and when to bring in professional coaching
• What it's actually like to choose between multiple top consulting offers
