The WetFeet Insider Guide To Careers In Management Consulting

Rating:
Summary: a really in-depth guide
Review: it's no wonder business majors and MBAs look to wetfeet for this kind of information. this guide was a great resource for me. it had tons of current information on key trends, charting the progress of the industry, changes and rankings, etc. i got a good feel for what to expect in management consulting. it certainly didn't romanticize it (gone are the boom years, after alL!), and i'm glad since i would've smelled a rat right away if it had. that said, the lifestyle, culture, diversity info was good stuff, as was the info on salary, vacation and travel. i also liked the days in the life -- written in great detail so that i can really get a good idea of what it's like to be an analyst in the industry. and finally, the list of questions to ask the interviewers as well as questions to be prepared for are a great starting point for me when i think about what to rehearse for when i'm going through the hiring rounds.
