Since 2018, Evan has worked with Marc Cosentino, the world’s foremost expert in case interviews, to provide practical insights and guidance to thousands of undergraduate and graduate students, career switchers, and consultants from across the globe.

Evan's experience with case interviews and career coaching started as an MBA at Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business (MSB), where he began building a program that emphasized cases and career guidance for social impact. Piekara and Cosentino teamed up to author Case In Point: Government and Nonprofit to provide insider insights, guidance, and case preparation for those interested in mission-oriented consulting, nonprofit, government, and social impact careers. Through global lectures, mentoring, and career outreach, Evan found that he was getting a lot of the same questions and requests for career advice. To provide a one-stop-shop, Evan published Case In Point: Crafting Your Consulting Career, which provides expertise on the nearly 50 most common questions that he has received from professionals looking to advance their careers. This industry guide includes hundreds of hours of lessons learned from informational interviews as well as advice garnered through targeted interviews with nearly 20 expert consultants.
