Minus ⭐ for out of date questions.
Minus ⭐⭐for questionable questions trying to abuse of the power imbalance (making the candidates say their salary expectations first to have leeway with your business unit… icky)

,⭐⭐are for some interesting questions and historical perspectives (nagling? Actually didn't know about that one)

Great concept

[Howard · Rating 2 out of 5]

The only good thing about this book is the question bank in the later half. As someone coming from a top public school, as mentioned in the book actually, even I feel offended by its discriminating attitude in the first half. I hope I am not just naive... if actual interviewers practice suggestions from the first half, I wonder if it is even appropriate.

The question bank deserves 4-5 stars. If it is more error-free and explains further, it is definitely 5 stars. However, the first half about interviewing (for interviewers) warrants no more than 1 star.
