Book Recommendations
Junior Majoring in Finance & Accounting at a Semi-Target. Interested in IB, PE, Management Consulting. I spend a lot of my free time reading and have indulged in relevant literature. I was looking for book recommendations that would broaden my knowledge on the topics and better prepare me for internships and the professional world.
Best Wishes.
Barbarians at the gate, the big short, liars poker
Will definitely check them out, I am a huge fan of Michael Lewis’ “The Undoing Project.”
Dudes really gatekeeping a reading list
Extreme Ownership — recently heard from my friend (ex-Jefferies VP) he’d make his summer analysts read it. This is more for when you get the position and want to succeed in the team environment.
Jocko is probably my #1 mentor, I’ve read all his books and have listened to countless podcasts.
1 Cover and Move
2 Simple
3 Prioritize and Execute
4 Decentralized Command
Discipline = Freedom. Greatest recommendation, I wish more knew about his work!
Shit I don't see your comment, let me take my glasses
Dr suess book
Cowboy ethics (serious)
"What Women Want--What Men Want: Why the Sexes Still See Love and Commitment So Differently"
Animal Farm by George Orwell
No need whatsoever to read any finance literature to prepare.
A couple of books I would recommend ahead of banking though:
- Influence by R Cialdini (#1 book recommended by Charlie Munger)
- Outlive by Peter Attia (to ensure you have the right longevity benchmarks ahead of starting your career)
- Principles by Ray Dalio (to know yourself and improve decision making, may actually help for interviews) - and any other book by Dalio
-Atomic Habits by James Clear (great book)
-The power of now (a bit woo-woo, but great introduction to mindfulness which I highly recommend you get into, or meditation)
Would also add Crucial Conversations to the mix. Really good book.
Going back to my analyst years, it’s clear I could have improved my quality of life with the right dialogue; and as an associate it’s clear that you need to phrase some of your feedback in a way that makes juniors feel safe & respected (while still being honest about performance)
Great advice, I’ll definitely add it to the list.
Valuation. By McKinsey.
How to win friends and influence people. By Dale Carnegie.
Thanks. Are you familiar with the valuation book by damodaran? Cant decide which valuation book to pick up.
