Any resources you people would recommend on getting prepped for consulting interviews and generally learning about the nature of the field?

I've applied to several positions, simply because the job descriptions (analytical thinker, blah blah) sounded suitable matches for me, but I'm still quite new in the area and would like to learn things properly.

Any books, courses, websites, certificates, etc?

After 3 rounds of strong interviews, is it ok to call the recruiter (2 days post interviews) to get an update and let them know another firm is moving fast and you are hoping to hear sooner. Recruiter did pick up the phone and spoke to me. Just didn’t want to sound desperate…but my current firm is giving me a bigger role and I didn’t want to sign up and then leave either which I told the recruiter.
