Average Customer Rating: 4.12 (43 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Must-Read/Outstanding career resource
Comment: A must-read for anyone considering jobs in the hard-charging fields of investment banking and/or management consulting. Naficy does an excellent job of describing the nuts and bolts of what industry practicioners do, as well as what it takes to get into the top firms. The book synthesizes Naficy's hands-on experience, thorough research, and extensive one-on-one interviews of industry participants in a very accessible and useful manner.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good for people looking to break in to Consulting
Comment: If you are currently thinking about what it takes to be a Management Consultant, this book certainly helps out in that respect.
Everything from what your typical day is like, to how to write your cover letter, to giving you insights into what the interview process is designed to flesh out, this book is a good PRIMER to the rookie. The how-to-write-a-cover-letter section is particularly excellent.
It is NOT a stand-alone book though, you need to supplement it with other good books about Management Consulting.
Of course this book is not just about MC, but also Investment Banking too.
If you are looking for another angle on how to pursue a career in Consulting, this is a good one to buy. But, don't just buy THIS one. It's not comprehensive enuf.

Summary: the best prep book out there
Comment: I came from an Ivy school and got offers from Goldman and Morgan Stanley coming out. My junior year I was recommended this book by a college career counselor as the one indispensable book to own. I agree and have recommended the same to others asking me for advice. It won't get you the job on its own (internet research and calls with former/current employees are a must), but its explanations of management consulting and investment banking are hugely helpful for approaching the interview process. Vault and Wetfeet are fine but too specific -- an applicant who has read this book and understands the overall shape of these two career paths and the goals behind the recruiting process for each will be much better prepared for the rigorous post-college interview process.
