The Ultimate Case Interview Workbook: Exclusive Cases and Problems for Interviews at Top Consulting Firms (Consulting Case Interviews)

Def a good book to learn strategic thinking about business cases, learned a lot as someone who has no business experience

When used in conjunction with 'Hacking the Case Interview', 'The Ultimate Case Interview Workbook' provides an excellent foundation for case interview practice. While I had also purchased and read Case Interview Secrets and Case In Point, Taylor Warfield's books do a much better job providing examples and offering different/updated combinations of frameworks. For people who learn best by reading through example problems and attempting practice problems, this book provides a wide breadth of cases that will give you a good taste of what you may be asked in interviews. Using these two books as a foundation, I was able to land 5 job offers from MBB, the big four, and boutique life sciences firms. In my 33 interviews, I would say that ~25 of them had cases that were similar/relevant to those in 'The Ultimate Case Interview Workbook'. I did not get a single case that was like the examples at the end of Case In Point (although those were still good to practice). I highly, highly recommend this for anyone going through the case interview process.

I bought this book to get more practice and improvement with the dreaded case interviews. The author provides very good problems and cases for this. The book is a great starting point for learning how to think like a true consultant. I found the cases challenging, but rewarding. You get to learn a great deal about making frameworks, doing consulting math, and forcing yourself to make a recommendation. I have definitely improved my interviewing skills significantly after completing this book.

The cases are unique and interesting to read and do. While the book provides a brief overview of case interview strategies, this book is mainly meant for practicing cases. To learn how to do cases, I’d recommend Hacking the Case Interview. This book is a great supplement because many case interview prep books do not provide that much practice.

This was a solid consulting case book which breaks down the different types of case questions. In particular, I found the practice cases in the latter half of the book the most helpful. The answers are listed on a different page which makes it easy for one to practice solo. Using this book led to a graduate offer at a MBB - really glad I came across this resource!

I had previously been given feedback on my interviews to be more “structured” with my answers. The way this book approaches developing frameworks and how to answer qualitative questions is so clear and concise. After working through them, I feel much more confident in my case interview capabilities. I highly recommend this book to anyone learning to get more practice with case interviews!

After reading case interview books, I wasn’t really sure what was the best way to practice. I found some cases online and through my consulting club and worked through some of those problems, but the answers weren’t written very well... I’m super glad I found this book! A bunch of problems and cases all in one!

This workbook goes straight into all of the types of questions you could see in a case interview. I used this book to work on my quantitative skills, primarily for market sizing and estimation questions. I then skipped to the practice cases, which were actually interesting and fun to do! Would definitely recommend to anyone prepping for their consulting interview

This book is not a comprehensive guide/ strategy to get into a consulting company. Get this book to facilitate your learning with the cases shown. I bought both books in this series, and I feel that this one covers many of the topics in the other one with many more examples for you to practice. There's varying difficulties of cases to go through which is ideal for when you are starting out or if you are more experienced. I would highly recommend pairing this book with free online material!

I have read multiple case books (Victor Cheng, David Ohrwall), and I realize a lot of authors tend to write unnecessary stuff. As helpful the intent might be, it actually leads to more confusion on the part of the reader. After having read Taylor's first book (Hacking the case), I have been a huge fan of the simplicity and crispness with which he can convey his ideas. However, I realized that the first book was slightly lacking in practice problems. This book seems to be the second part of his series: a book with multiple problems in both specific topics so that you can deep dive on your weak areas, or full blown practice cases. Specific topics include: - Framework questions - Market sizing - Brainstorming - Interpreting charts - Business judgement - Profitability Apart from the above, there's 15 full blown cases, ranging from easy to hard difficulty so that you can track your progress. This really helped me hone my skills and comparing it with his solution helped me find gaps in my solving set. I would recommend doing 1-2 cases initially and check your level and then do more after you have done deep dives on each specific topic that you want to address. Note: One downside though of the series format is that in case you are learning concepts from the basics, I would recommend purchasing his first book (Hacking the case interview). Apart from the above, if you're looking for solid practice, look no further, this is the book for that! This book made me confident in my ability to hack cases for my consulting interview with top tier firms (fingers crossed).

Livre pas forcément adapté pour les gens débutant de zero mais une fois avec quelques éléments d'entraînement sur les cases c'est un très bon livre qui récapitule bien et va droit au but, beaucoup de bons éléments par ci par là qui m'ont bien aidé pour mes entretiens de conseil en stratégie. Une bonne boîte à outils comme l'auteur le dit.

Para quem está buscando aprender sobre case interview, esse livro é ótimo!
