Book Description

September 1, 2000 Insider Guides Series : Company Insider
Do you want to know what a job in this industry is really like-and do you want to know it quickly? WetFeet has the best research (and writing) team in the business. WetFeet guides are the industry standard--based on thousands of insider interviews and written with humor and skill, our materials are recognized by candidates and companies alike as the insider guide of choice.

So you think you want to work on Wall Street. The idea of working in the financial markets excites you--and so does the idea of making a big salary. Before you interview, though, you should take some time to consider your career choice more carefully. Do you really want to work 80 hours a week? If you do, in which firms would you best fit? And what kind of banking do you really want to do? This guide will teach you everything you need to know about how an investment bank works, what types of professional opportunities exist for MBAs and undergrads, and how to impress your recruiters.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not good for PhDs, November 16, 1999
By 
This review is from: Ace Your Case! : Consulting Interviews : The WetFeet.com Insider Guide (Insider Guides Series : Company Insider) (Paperback)
This book is NOT good for advanced degree candidates trying to get a job in consulting. One problem is that the book does NOT stress the importance of trying to find non-trivial and key points in case interviews. There is too much emphasis on frameworks. In real interview you don't have time to go and explore all elements of a framework. Instead you often need to quickly identify key issues and present out-of-the-box ideas. If you are PhD, after reading that book, you'll get inclined in the somewhat wrong direction. You may do better if you never heard of frameworks and don't care about absolute completeness of your answer, but use your time to find "think different" ideas. (It is possibly not the case for MBA's though.)

3.0 out of 5 stars this book is ok...., May 25, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Ace Your Case! : Consulting Interviews : The WetFeet.com Insider Guide (Insider Guides Series : Company Insider) (Paperback)
if you dont have much preparation time. While it provided a great overview of the interview process, I thought the frameworks were a bit over-simplified for MBA interviews. It definitely helped me relax before my interview and it was easy to read on the flight, but I thought the stuff available for free on vault.com was much more useful. If you have time to really prepare properly save your money and dont bother with this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars practical guide, October 22, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Ace Your Case! : Consulting Interviews : The WetFeet.com Insider Guide (Insider Guides Series : Company Insider) (Paperback)
I thought ace your case was a practical guide and helps relax you a little for your interview. Also try the Vault Guide to the Case Interview and the harvard guide to consulting. Good luck.
