Is LOMS/Victor Cheng materials or Case In Point (and the cases within the book) more helpful in prepping for MBB interview cases?

I've always hated CIP. 1) Get ahold of a free copy of Case Interview Secrets by Cheng. 2) Read the chapter on "Issue trees." 3) Get ahold of a few good MBA case books (Kellogg, Wharton, Ross are all solid). 4) Start practicing live. 5) Don't forget about behavioral interviews.

I was doing practice cases from the back of Case in Point after doing about half of LOMS, and I felt like the cases were so simple and not asking enough. Will probably stick to LOMS going forward.

Get an MBA case book. The cases in CIP and LOMS look nothing like any case I saw during recruiting or that I've given since. Cracking the Case is the only publicly available I know with kinda ok cases. The methods and frameworks are absolute brain cancer though.

@BCG1, thanks for that. Going to go download CIS now and will look for Case books. I have his video series that I've been watching and the LOMS audio cases. Did you recommend just using the case books for practicing?

If you are going through interviews at MBB, could you share how you got an interview? Also, profile please

Don't like firmsconsulting. Also BCG1 hit the nail on the head, LOMS and throw away CIP
