The Fast Track

Customer Reviews

Started looking into similar stuff more than a year ago. Bought this book 3 month ago, just read it yesterday.

Reading the book is like hearing your bigger bro/sis telling you about the walks they have walked, about challegens you feel very uncertain/frustrated, and about what things REALLY are and how they could be done the BEST. Those experiecens are not told in a cold tone like in Vault or in some drab books by professionals who write resum/cover letter for a living. It is rather put together in a knowledgable, guiding, rich-in-"meaningful"-example and willing-to-help way. Author's intention and effort in basing the knowledge of job-hunting process on what you may feel about certain things and what you may want to know the most are evident too.

Author's own experience where she "battled through grueling recrueting season, totaling about seventy-five intervews..." and getting into Goldman Sachs, and later into Gemini is curcial in above regards.

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.
