Case interviews?

Pretty new here, but was wondering if there's any WSO wisdom on case interviews and prep. Recently bought "case in point" by consentino, but didn't do much research besides Amazon reviews. Is it good? Are there other good books/guides you guys recommend? Appreciate any insight and help, and personal experiences as well.

One of the best things I did during my prep was go through the case interview simulations/games on the websites of different consulting firms. McKinsey, BCG, and Deloitte all had very useful modules.

Here you go:

BCG: http://www.bcg.com/join_bcg/interactive_case/default.aspx MCK: http://www.mckinsey.com/careers/apply/interview_tips/practice_case_stud…

Deloitte: http://mycareer.deloitte.com/us/en/students/gettingthejob/caseinterview…

hope that helps!

 

Case in Point is very good. I'm currently going through case interview prep as well. GL out there

Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker.
