Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Not withstanding my own credentials, I believe that the Wet Feet guides contributed to my ability to focus on getting through what can seem like a very artificial process (i.e. the case interview). Now that I have nailed down three offers at top consulting firms, I look forward to a relaxing holiday with family and friends."(MIT graduate student)

"Exactly what you would want to ask the company if you had access to someone."(Berkeley MBA)

5.0 out of 5 stars a goldmine, March 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Monitor Group: The WetFeet Insider Guide (Paperback)

This was a goldmine of info on a small, private company that doesn't get a great deal of press. I've had a hard time getting good info on this company, so it was a relief to get a hold of this guide. I had a couple friends of friends who've worked at Monitor, and so i knew the rep was a good one. But since I couldn't get in touch with these friends of friends, the guide was the next best thing. Plus it's current, moreso than the insight from these FoFs who worked for Monitor several years ago. Thanks WetFeet. I'll be looking at your website some more to help me get my resume writing, interviewing and other skills up to speed.
