Best case interview prep books/resources for MBB/T2 interviews? Heard “Case in Point” is outdated so wanted to get your feedback

CraftingCases! Case in Point is not outdated per se, but the way he presents on how to solve a case will make you fail the interview (take these 12 types of case and remember everything). Victor's Cheng material is limited - it's good for starters but won't make you shine.

Crafting Cases on the other hand take another approach - the try to teach you how to actually develop and create unique frameworks and "unique" ways to think about that specific situation that's exactly what MBB/T2 is looking for. The videos are gold, and it's free. Thd paid course (mostly drills) are only good if you like the drills per se. So I'd take Crafting Cases over Marc Consetino's book or Victor's Cheng any day.

For Casebooks, LBS' are gold, very underrated, and Wharton's is also great.

P.s.1.: I've actually met Bruno in a bar, he is a very funny guy haha.
P.s.2.: This must be the most common post here along with asking for referral and good memes

At 2020.1 I didn't get any offers, and 2021.1 I got Bain,BCG, Oliver and EY-P. Mostly thanks to them. I can even say they helped me in skme degree in IB related interviews

I personally like Victor Cheng's resources and some of the case books published by B-school consulting clubs

So had my first interview in one of the big 4 but it got me completely off guard. First one was call screening and then a technical interview. Now what I didn’t expect is rather than technicalities they focused on the consulting a lot more. Now the role that was marketed was technical/Architect and they even said that in current capacity you’ll work here as a technical person. I don’t think it went well. Coming from a technical background I was hoping for coding .
Is it always like this?
