Additional information
by Sean Huang (Author)
Case Closed is an award-winning, detailed guide to acing the consulting interview. Other consulting prep materials are written by those who have been out of the industry for decades. Case Closed is the only guide written by former McKinsey consultants and interviewers who have been intimately involved in the interview process in the last 2 years.
This authoritative resource covers some never-covered-before topics, including:
- How to write your resume to attract the attention of resume-graders and recruiters at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG
- Why the "personal experience" (fit) interview matters, what interviewers are probing for, and what types of experiences to prep
- How the interviewers evaluate your case performance: what matters, and what doesn't
- How to tackle non-traditional cases that interviewers may throw at you, which no canned framework from the typical case interview books can help with
- How to prep if you have 60 days, 30 days, or just 2 weeks before your expected first interview
- How to hack both in-person interactions and video interview interactions, in a time of COVID-19
- The surprisingly good - and surprisingly bad - questions to ask your interviewer during Q&A
- How to master innovative, universally-adaptable case interview frameworks. Any candidate can regurgitate the frameworks from Case In Point or Case Interview Secrets; nothing there will "wow" an interviewer
- Countless example cases spanning profitability, new market entry, new product / growth, pricing, M&A, and even non-traditional archetypes
Sean Huang's former proteges span undergraduates, MBAs, advanced degree holders, and experienced hires. These students have landed job offers at top consulting firms, including McKinsey, BCG, and Bain; many have also used the structured thinking he has taught them to land roles at Goldman Sachs IBD, Google BizOps & Strategy, as well as at Fortune 500 strategy groups.
"Case Closed has been a lifesaver. It truly contains everything you need to know to ace your consulting interviews and Sean explains things in a clear manner that is easy to understand. After studying Case Closed, I landed my dream job at McKinsey and I've raved about this book to all my friends."-McKinsey New York full time offer, Wharton MBA
"I used to be intimidated by the notorious consulting case interviews. For anyone looking to get a job offer to a top consulting firm, Case Closed is honestly the best interview prep book (and I've read all of them). The case interviews in Case Closed were by far the best and most similar to the cases I got in the actual interviews."-Bain San Francisco internship offer, UC Berkeley Haas (undergraduate)
"In my panic, I read all of the case interview frameworks from different case prep books. And that ended up confusing me more because there were so many frameworks but no easy way to remember when to use what. Case Closed walks you through the interview process in such a great way that I started loving case interviews and landed the job." -BCG Boston full time offer, University of Virginia (undergraduate)
