The book offers a good but very general overview of the case interview process and could probably do with another case or two. Probably worth 3 or 4 stars.

Look, people who read this kind of book are reasonably smart, they do not need a reminder that you have a website.
His 'additional resources' section includes neither a mention of Barbara Minto's b A decent book on ways to ace the case study interview process, adopted by top international consulting firms as part of their hiring process.
The author, a Stanford and Mckinsey alum, cracks the process for solving complex cases, using different frameworks and models. A good read for those looking to take up careers in consulting. Excellent book even if you are not currently interviewing. It helps you getting a good structure for solving any kind of problem.
Specially helpful if you are currently working in consulting. The only thing that I didn't like is that Victor tries to sell you his programs and services at the end of every chapter. Besides that, I really liked the book.

He gives great tips for problem solving, interviewing, presentations, resumes, and quick math. Did you know that there are consultants consulting on how to become a consultant? The competition to get employed at BCG, Bain or McKinsey is murderous so the applicants who prepare ahead of the interview obviously have the upper hand.

I really really Enjoy the language of Cheng, so logical, convincing and goes straight to the heart. He outlined the types of case interviews and the essential techniques.

So there are four essential tools one must master in doing a case interview: hypothesis, issue tree, analysis and synthesis.
Some important things to remember: If you are unaware of how to prepare for a consulting interview but think you want to become one, this book is perfect for you.
As a transitioning military officer I found his frameworks more helpful than any online blogs or posts I have seen elsewhere.
It made me really realize that there is most likely one framework that we all use to problem solve with, and we lean on it automatically, and when we are faced with a problem we cannot solve because we know no other way to solve a problem other t Who should read this book? The book could have been so much better if there were more examples. At one point it gets way too theoretical and lecture-like.
If you plan to read this and you belong to group 1, like me, just Fantastic book helping you prepare for case interviews at consulting firms. The author does a great job at explaining the different processes that one should follow during case interviews. Highly recommended even if you are not looking to get into consulting. The book teaches a great method of approaching business problems in a very rational and structured way.
Offers good insights into the typical problems consultants face during their careers and how to approach these with the 'consultant mind The great thing about this book is that Victor is really trying to teach us how to think differently.
It's not about memorizing frameworks he's repeating it several times , but rather changing how you see thing, how you look for solutions, how you combine everything you've learned and how to present your findings These are invaluable lessons, that you will not find anywhere else. This is definitely something I will have to read over again after some time will have passed. Unsure whether or not I'll end up spending the time to attempt the interviews, but the idea of using problem sovling frameworks has been a useful tool for software problems and thinking about how to present my logical solution path.
I especially like the MECE mutually exclusive collectively exhaustive principle, as it encourages thinking about problem structure before the solving process and helps to minimze redundancy during the process. Cheng is clearly unashame using this book as part of promotion!
