Hello All, any recommendations on books / literature to read before entering the world of MBB (example: Valuation: Measuring and Managing the Value of Companies – McKinsey & Company 7th edition) which will help to get started???
Not looking really for general literature but more academic books which contain content on the processes, guidelines, strategy’s, etc…
Thanks in advance.

Just have enough sleep. Find a life partner if you still could. I found my life partner a week before my actual start date with McKinsey. And now we are married with a kid. 🥰 it’s been a blessed 5 years

I’m mid-level in my HR career at my current company and an upcoming Master’s graduate. Studying for my SHRM-CP too. How did you make the transition to that next level? What skills do you need, or is it really just based on YOE (I am the youngest compared to my teammates, many who have 10+ YOE)? I feel like career pathing is not very clear at my company. Each time I ask for guidance on this from my manager, I get told they’ll look into it.... would love some external mentorship and thoughts 🙏🏼
