The Best Guide to Help Scale the Consulting Tower |
When I saw that Marc Cosentino's book is now available to the general public, I cheered! Mr. Cosentino's book is a systematic, thorough, intuitive and unpretentious tool for grappling with the all too over-mystified case interview.
I not only used this book for my own first foray into the business world, but I made frequent trips to the Harvard Career Services Office to buy copies for friends. These individuals ranged in all levels of experience: from Sloan MBA students, to freshly-minted grads and young professionals with a few years experience. With no exaggeration, they all moved into consulting with Mr. Cosentino's help.
Treat this book as your main go-to for case and personal interviews. All the others similarly catchy-titled books, including Ace the Case, are simply its supplements. |

Best Case Interview Preparation Ever! |
After having read some german case interview preparation books I bought this book and I have to say that "Case in Point" is the best preparation for consulting interviews you can get.
The cases in this book are absolutely realistic! The solutions that are suggested by the author are very detailed.
This book helped me a lot to get some offers of big consulting firms in Germany. |

Start your case prep here! |
I recommend Case in Point for 2 main reasons: It is both practical and thorough. The simulated cases give the novice a sense for the given-and-take of a case interview. And Cosentino's "Ivy Case System" helps non-MBAs to get grounded in the broad classes of issues that companies, and hence consultants, face.
My advice: Kick-start your case interview preparation with this guide, and then check out CQI to boost your business quant and test your case-cracking skills. |

Case in Point: Complete Interview Case Preparation |
Unequivocally the best consulting/case interview preparation book I've read to date. For anyone interested in Management Consulting -- if your Career Center doesn't have this text you should seriously consider transferring...
To put my review in its proper context, my background involves several years of consulting experience followed by an MBA and MSF from a top institution. Currently, I lead the strategy unit for a F500 technology services business.
From the "Look Inside" preview the value-add should be obvious, so I won't go into the details other than to say Marc provides a framework that can be applied to just about every business situation/case. I will comment, however, that in addition to preparing the candidate for the interview process, the book also gets the successful candidate thinking about how an engagement should be managed (identifying issues and hypotheses, prioritizing, developing work streams etc...). Adopting this higher-level of thinking during the interview process will help you score points with interviewers.
