Prep for MA/general IB vs restructuring

Going into a summer where I’ll have some time due to taking a fun summer job as opposed to silly internship (go ahead and roast me WSO). I’ve heard restructuring prep is dif from general IBD. What books/guides should I read for either?

Beyond rosenbaum and pearl pls….

Man… don’t spread the RX interview guides. They’re only like $30 and you can tell the creator put in a shit ton of time into them. They single handedly got me an RX offer, and when you consider the payout it’s such a small investment to make. I could’ve got them for free but I still chose to pay out of appreciation. I get it if they were like $300, but I don’t get the point of comprising ethics and screwing over a nice guy for a few extra dollars in your pocket

 

I’m giving them out for free. I’m sure he makes a good salary he’ll be just fine. I tipped him extra anyway once I got my offer.
