FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Soreno, answered in one place.

It is a case interview book first published in 2017, and the site that grew from it. The site now sells more books, a Case Interview Course, a Behavioral and Fit course, resume and cover letter reviews, and 1-on-1 coaching.
Taylor Warfield. Its about page describes him as a former Bain manager, interviewer and recruiter who founded the site in 2017, the year the book came out.
The Case Interview Course is $297, listed down from $788, as of November 3, 2026. Its course list shows it as $297 / year, and the course page does not say how long access lasts. The Behavioral and Fit course is $197, coaching is $400 a session and the packages run from $997 to $4,500.
In our experience, a book teaches the method but reading does not build the skill of solving a case out loud while an interviewer asks follow-up questions. Pair it with live cases with a partner or an AI interviewer.
It depends on what you want next. Case in Point for another book, Crafting Cases or CaseCoach for a course, PrepLounge or your school's club for peer cases, RocketBlocks for drills, a coach before a final round, and Soreno for spoken cases with an AI interviewer across consulting, finance and behavioral.
Yes. Your school's consulting club, BCG's preparation page, PrepLounge's free plan, Crafting Cases' free course and Victor Cheng's free resources cost nothing. Hacking the Case Interview also has a free training on its site, and you can try Soreno free.
