Case interview prep -

1) The Wharton casebooks have an industry primer. Any other similar ones out there?
2) Wharton also has a Core Connector with Accounting, Finance 101s. Any other similar ones?

Lol "case in point" not casino

Most of the school casebooks have industry primers in the front section (Kellogg, Darden, Ross, etc)

~Wharton~

I’m in the Case Interview Secrets camp. Market sizing in CIP is good though - wouldn’t use it for anything else.

On industry primers, I thought the Wharton version was sufficient. You shouldn’t be expected to know a ton by industry for these interviews, so I would focus less on technical knowledge.

Thanks all! 🙏
