OP, could you post the names of the books please? I like the genre but it's tough to find well researched ones.

Some of my experiences: McKinsey Mind was just bad. Lords of Strategy was meh. House of Morgan was great but heavy af.

All available on amazon

1) Goldman Sachs:
The partnership
The culture of success

2) McKinsey:
The firm

3) Arthur Andersen:

Hi everyone!
Debating between an offer from 200 employee company vs

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?
