"I've been a huge fan of your site for a few years now. I went to Chicago Booth, which is known for its strong career services office, and nothing at the school was as valuable as the info on your site and in the Consulting Interview Bible. Even though I'm in marketing, your advice is so pertinent to a variety of industries."

-Giulia, Chicago Booth alum

Here's what people have been saying:

"I have offers from both Navigant and Accenture!"
"I bought your Consulting Interview Bible training course several weeks ago in a frantic, last-minute attempt to prepare for upcoming consulting interviews. I knew your course focused on strategy consulting - but after reading everything you covered, I figured much of the stuff would overlap with technology and operations consulting too. Am I glad I bought it!! Literally, like 1/3 of the fit questions were pulled straight from your course. I almost laughed out loud. The cases a few of the companies provided were more quantitative/featured more charts, but the way you broke down each answer and particularly, the right components for the answer, were really spot-on. And now I'm happy to announce...I have offers from both Navigant AND Accenture! Thanks again. I will be telling everyone at Haas that I know."

-David K., University student who broke into consulting

"I decided to give it a try...I knew I made the right decision"
The course itself is very comprehensive - especially the fit questions. I have to admit that I was initially skeptical because I've read other consulting prep books and have done a lot of prep already. But I decided to give it a try. After just reading the preface, I knew I made the right decision- you should consider putting the preface online because it answered my questions.I feel much more comfortable now. [...] Thanks!"

-Dave J., Grad student interested in healthcare consulting

In the third edition we just released, it's finally a 300-page mega-guide on consulting fit and case interviews.

This all sounds great. What's the cost?

"I just received an offer from their [BCG] Dubai office"
"First off, thanks for even putting a site like this together. When I came across it as an email forward on a Booth mailing list, I began reading every article that I could. I read through what you were promising for The Consulting Bible, and you convinced me to buy it. I started going through all the questions - in particular, the sizing questions because I'm weak in them and never confident in my assumptions. I finished my final rounds with BCG several days ago, and just received an offer from their Dubai office! Thanks again - without the confidence that your methods and guidance engendered, I really don't think I would've been as comfortable in particularly the final round interviews."
-Shirley S., Business school student who broke into consulting

Additional questions:

Will The Consulting Interview Bible be helpful for senior positions?

Absolutely. The tips for each section and many of the consulting interview questions will be similar. There's even a dedicated section on questions for experienced hires/career changers.

I'm interviewing for IT/technology consulting positions. How can the course help me?

Your interview will naturally differ from the strategy consulting model - but they will ask questions about your resume, your background, your preparation for the job, etc. All are covered in these course materials.

Why are there no "technical questions"?

Unlike finance, management consulting interviews rarely ask technical questions. The closest you'll come are questions about current business topics and the occasional brainteaser (both of which are included). The technical skills needed for consulting are tested in sizing questions and case studies - which The Consulting Interview Bible discusses in-depth.

Is The Consulting Interview Bible available on popular e-book platforms like Kindle or Nook?

Coming soon, yes.

Can I buy the course and supplemental materials in print?

Yes, coming soon - but we believe the speed and flexibility of the online version is superior. You can start practicing consulting interview questions in less than 5 minutes!

What even more customers have been saying:

"I live in Australia, just got an offer call from Bain this past Friday. Used your Consulting Interview Bible. Thank you for creating it -- perhaps the best $$ I've ever spent. For fit / behavioral questions, it was really spot on. I can't recall how many times during the interview process people either said, "tell me about xxx in your resume" or "tell me about a time when xxx;" -- although the questions weren't always exactly the ones in The Consulting Interview Bible, my prepared hero stories / answers to the questions in the MC course were enough that I was able to handle every behavioral q that came up during the entire interview process."

-Ronjon, who received an offer from Bain Australia

"Hello, I have been reading your website for a while, and have purchased your Consulting Interview Bible. I just received an offer to Booz Allen Hamilton, it is for an engineering/tech role. Thanks for providing a great resource!"
