useful information but a bit out of date

[Tomasz Drozdz]

Very useful book (or report) on the case interviews. Lots of frameworks and practical questions not seen in any other case-book so far.

Needs an update!

Totally different than what I was looking for. This book is a how-to guide on how to interview when given a case situation by the interviewer, a common technique it says of consulting firms. Although I'm not interested in interviewing for a new job, it does give hints on what things to think about given a question like, "XYZ's profits are dropping. Why?" I just turn it around and use it to think what would I say when a client asks me that.
