Moving to PE post MBA in 6 months as a Sr. Associate, with a background of 4 years in MBB consulting and 1 year in Equity Research. What resources would you recommend me to use to get prepared for the role? Books, courses, podcasts, etc?
I got the LBO part covered and would like to learn more about the industry, investment process, thesis, etc. Any feedback is appreciated
