From 10 rejections to 1 dream investment banking internship
“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Rather than books, I'd read FT / WSJ / BusinessWeek articles regularly (ideally daily, even just 1-2) and maybe listen to some business podcasts, I am partial to the FT News Briefing, The McKinsey Podcast, HBR IdeaCast, ColdCall, and The So What from BCG.
It is easy to consume, up to date, and will give you more current and direct insights into the mindset of business leaders and consultants. You already got your internship, so means you can case, which means you're already familiar with basic business frameworks. At this stage I think building up your business acumen will be more helpful.
Sounds good, thanks!
I agree with the above, but then most of us already read the WSJ and FT every day, and listen to finance podcasts regularly on the commute or whatever (I certainly do). Book recommendations: Lords of Strategy
