case books

Hey Gaia,

I think I already wrote this in a previous thread, but still: doing cases from case books on your own is a bad preparation strategy. It lacks the essential component: quality feedback.

To progress quickly, I suggest you take this approach (in the following order):

1. Getting coaching when you are a complete beginner to learn the basics;

2. After you've learned the basics, practice cases with peers to polish your case solving process and acquire understanding of a wide range of industries and problem types;

3. Before the interview, ask a few acting consultants to give you cases in a mock-interview format to assess your readiness.

Regards,
Nick
 

Is there a particular reason you are looking for them? It appears you have studied already quite a few cases from other books. Just a friendly tip, it's not the masses of cases you have cracked before, it is the quality and feedback you received along the journey. Feel free to ping me for a free coffee chat so I can give you a quick readiness check. Warm regards, Freddy 

Hi Gaia,

Sure, but you're doing it wrong.

If you've already read a ton of casebooks, you're not really going to improve from reading more.

You need to case live with other people.

My 2 cents.

But, you do you!

HUGE list here (14 casebooks):

Hi there,

Sticking only to casebooks is not the most efficient strategy to prepare interviews. Get some action and real feedback from peers or a coach to prepare more effectively.

Happy to keep talking about this in private, just send me a message.

Best,

Alberto
