Product Description
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've scoured the Ace Your Case report from WetFeet.com, you've attended four company presentations on cracking the consulting case, and you still think you need a little more practice before you're ready to start slam-dunking those consulting interviews. Good thinking! If there's one thing we hear again and again from consulting recruiters (and candidates), it's that practice (and preparation) makes perfect. In this report you'll find a number of practice case questions which are designed to help you hone your case interviewing skills to a razor-sharp edge.

From the Publisher
"In short, I think your books gives candidates an invaluable insight into the interview process, what is going to happen, and what is expected of them and what they need to know. I believe it's paramount to have a competitive edge over "the rest" of the applicants. I commend you on your work!" (University of Milan MBA)

"Considering a potential income of $70,000 per annum, an investment of $70 now is well worthwhile. This stuff really is a must have." (Columbia MBA)

"Dear WFPers: Thought you'd like to know that I interviewed 15 first-years at Haas (U.C. Berkeley's biz school) yesterday. Two mentioned WFP unsolicited. The rest had heard of WFP, but only one had read the Insider guide (on our firm) . . . and they all could have used the information! Good work!" (Consulting firm recruiter)

3.0 out of 5 stars Do you really need more cases?, March 26, 1999
By A Customer
The problem with these cases is that they tend to be oversimplified.
Consultants are not looking for you to regurgitate someone else's
thinking in the form of a framework. It's not a matter of recognizing
this case as a Seven S and this one as a Four P, etc.

While I
think this book will help you if you're just not feeling comfortable
with cases, most would be better served going through the cases
prepared by the Consulting Club at your school (or buying the case
book from Wharton's or HBS's Consulting Club). Then spend your time
talking to second years and alumni who either worked for top-tier
consulting firms before school, over the summer, or after
graduation.

The Wet Feet Press... reports are very valuable
for researching companies, and the Ace Your Case book is very good,
but this one was rather redundant.

2.0 out of 5 stars out of date, September 23, 2001
By A Customer
While this guide may have once been useful, in my opinion it has
become out of date. In my experience consulting firms have recently
dramatically changed the format of case interview questions and more
recent reflection of the new trends in case interviewing can be better
found...

3.0 out of 5 stars fairly useful, November 17, 2001
By A Customer
This guide is fairly useful though a bit repetitive. Still it is worth a read. Also recommended is the Vault Guide to the Case Interview.

2.0 out of 5 stars below average; better guides available
In my opinion, this book was not worth my time to read it or my money to buy it. There was very little in depth information on the consulting industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best way to prepare for consulting interviews!
Volume I is excellent - this is even better! I've used both and highly recommend them. Other guides I've seen are not nearly as smart as the WetFeet.com guides. Read more
