2.0 out of 5 stars Not much info for the buck, September 27, 1999

This book has a promising title, but fails to deliver. Only useful to the absolute novice. I am an MD interested in transferring my skills into consulting but this book was of little value. Use the general consulting guides: WetFeet or Naficy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A helpful starting point, March 6, 2003

As a Post-Doc in the sciences, I found this guide helpful in giving me a better picture of my options. I've specifically been wondering about whether consulting is the way to go (i'm sick of being poor!), and after reading this guide, I'm much more inclined to try to move into that industry. Certainly, I have a better idea of what my plan of attack will be as well as which of the top players I think will be most open to my expertise and background. I recommend this to other folks such as myself, tired of living the life of a poor student and ready to start bringing in the big bucks.
