The reality of MBB recruiting: 100 candidates apply. 15 get an interview. 1 gets the offer.

Most of the 99 who don't get it aren't underqualified. They just had a bad plan.

Kabreya Ghaderi, who coached hundreds of candidates and spent time at McKinsey, PwC, and Bridgespan, sees strong candidates still miss because their prep plan has a hole in it they can't see from the inside.

In this episode, Kabreya walks through the 4 gaps that sink even candidates who are doing everything "right." What stood out:

• Logging more cases can actually lock in the wrong habits, faster
• One candidate did 80 practice cases and was still nowhere near ready
• Feeling ready and being ready are two different things, and most people can't tell which one they are
