Bain & Company I’ve been recommended the book Valuation by Tom Koller to prepare for an application process to an MBB business analyst position in PE but I don’t think I have much time to go through entirely (2-3 weeks until my interview ,while also working). Have you used this book? Do you recommend it? Thx!!!

It’s a great book but seems overkill for a BA interview. I would focus on the usual case prep and maybe get some practice at using some key concepts from the book in a case context. If somebody, especially at a more junior level, used ROIC to frame their case approach I’d be positively impressed.
Honestly BA the cases on the McKinsey we swore are great
Great book - but not sure how applicable it is to the work Bain does in PEG. Probably more applicable to IB or FDD folks. Agree with McK - focus on casing and putting some time into understanding the key components of PE consulting - which is primarily CDDs and VDDs.
You don’t need to be fluent in business valuation for case interviews. Just learn how to develop a framework and basic finance formulas like NPV.
