Hello!

On top of the insights already shared in the post, the "Integrated FIT guide for MBB" has been recently published in PrepLounge´s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/integrated-fit-guide-for-mbb-34)

It provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, tackling each firms particularities and combining key concepts review and a hands-on methodology. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.

Feel free to PM me for disccount codes, since we still have some left from the launch!

Last weekend, I was hanging out with my girlfriend and I lied about the cake that I had eaten when she went to shower.

the last time i told a lie was when discussing with a friend whether listening to a book was the same as reading a book. while i dont believe it is, i understand that he has struggled to get back into reading books, and while it may not be true for me, some people actually learn better by listening than by reading words on a page. because i was excited for him to get back into reading, i said that i do think it is equivalent.

when I was asked about my notice period, i mentioned the notice period, but as I resigned already, the actual time was shorter.

I lied to my barista about my job, because I didn't want to explain what private equity was, or hear all their lefty view
