Rating:  - This book is GOLDEN to any new hire considering consulting
I'm coming from a medical/public health background, several years out of college and newly considering a health-business career in this amorphous industry called "consulting."
As a result, I'm starting fresh and had no idea where to begin - learning about the companies, the lifestyle, the work, how to position myself to a possible employer, what subcategories to use when describing my skills set within the industry, and where to learn simple business vocabulary like "elevator pitch," ...

Rating:  - If only we could put the tree back in the forest...
This book is dedicated to general job seeking and interviewing techniques applicable to any employment situation. The chapter on consulting models and case questions is decent, but the remaining 200+ pages are irrelevant drivel that sheds little light on the inside machinations of a consulting firm, consulting positions, duties, expectations, and daily life. After spending a couple of hours reading this book, I feel no more prepared to approach leading firms for interviews than before I picked this ... Read More
Rating: - great book, especially the cases...
great little book this one. provides a definitive overview of the consulting industry. it is not biased in any way - so it highlights the pitfalls of the profession, as well as its perks. i think the best part is probably the case frameworks and the 100 sample cases. it has the 10 different types of cases you could expect, and then provides a worked answer in dialogue format - which makes it particularly helpful if you want to practice cases with a friend. all in all, a great guide - thoroughly recommended.
Rating: - Exellent Book
Excellent as a textbook.I use it to teach a university-level management consulting class.Many of the relevant topics covered provide a very good basis for in-class discussion.It is well written and insightful, presenting an accurate portrayal of what it is to be a management consultant.I especially like the sections scripted by industry veterans.I recommend this book to anyone interested in or considering a career in management consulting.
Rating:  - useful
This is a useful guide, though can be a bit simplistic at times.Still, it is worth reading, particularly if you are very new to the industry.Also recommended for consulting careers are the Vault Guide to the Case Interview and the Vault Guide to the Top 50 Consulting Firms.
