Rating: Summary: Outstanding case interview prep... Review: Anybody interested in consulting or facing a case interview should definitely check out Wet Feet's series. Their case interview guides are outstanding, providing a thorough guide of what to expect, how to tackle a problem (providing you with a quick refresher course on basic business concepts, frameworks, etc), and what behavior/ideas your interviewer will likely be looking for. I found this book to be absolutely essential when I got into strategy consulting a few years ago-considering the current job market, it's almost a must-have if you've never had the pleasure of being grilled with cases before.

Rating: Summary: Deconstructing the Case Interview Review: Definitely worth the money. I bought this one as well as Ace II (just heard there's now an Ace III), and used it to prepare for my consulting interviews. No matter what case got thrown at me, I kept my wits about me since i'd seen it all before while working through the WF guides. And now I'm going to work for one of my top picks in consulting. woohoo!
Rating: Summary: Yes that's outdated!! Review: I am majorly disappointed with this book. I was really shopping around for Case In Point / Vault Guide to Case Interview, but since those books aren't carried by my local bookstore and I need that quickly, I end up choosing this as it has an electronic version. It's no good. FULL STOP. It's like a random summary of a MBA courses, Porter's five forces etc.. But I don't think this book is helping with dealing with case interview at all, rather it's confusing the candidate especially for those non-MBA students who didn't know about those infamous business framework. It's giving them a incomplete and useful illustrations. Disappointed...
Rating: Summary: Short and to the Point; Very Practical! Review: I came across WetFeet for the first time in MBA school -- they impressed me back then with their very practice and to the point approach! This book is no exception!It is very short (100 pages) and well organized (Getting started; successful networking; the interview process; interviewing at your best; gettgin the best offer). The book does not cover resume writing and cover letter writing, which I consider one of its strengths (so many other resources are available on the subject). The real strength of the book is in it practical guidence to specific steps that can be taken in the interpersonal (netwroking, interviewing) aspects of a job search. Recommended read for all career activists!

Rating: Summary: Reading wetfeet and Vault guides is essential Review: Reading both this book and the Vault Guide to the Case Interview are essential to doing well in case interviews from my experience. It is worth the extra time to prepare.
Rating: Summary: Deconstructing the Case Interview Review: This is a really good document but more targeted for future business consultants. Personaly, I was looking for something about IT consulting. Still, it is very useful...
