Case in Point
This is the great classic of case prep courses that most of us (authors of the website) used back in the day.
It is well written, well structured and clear and give tons of great suggestions. It's definitely a must have for you guys that are soon approaching consulting interviews.
Don't forget to do tons of practice too - theory alone from the book is a good start, but it won't take you anywhere without a good number of mock interviews to put into practice the insights gained from the book.
Mock interviews
Mock interviews must comprise the core part of your interview preparation plan. We recommend that you have at least 3 mock interviews with consultants that work in your target consulting companies.
We are happy to help you! We have experienced real McKinsey, BCG and Bain recruiters that assist you with getting ready!
If you’ve arrived here then it’s clear that you don't lack the commitment or determination to succeed. I am certain that the above-mentioned resources will be a great compass for you to navigate across the consulting sea... enjoy our website!
