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!

A full-charged kindle with hundreds of books and the most powerful bower bank on earth are good 2 options: you could read for weeks and weeks, also something about surviving in a desert island :)
Best,

The three things I would bring
1) A bank account with 1 billion USD
2) A laptop with an internet connection
3) Lots of water
Note: I would use the laptop to be in contact with the world and use 1 billion to make the desert a paradise. In the meantime I would try to survive on water

It depends if I can choose the island or is the island given because the environment and the climate of the island could influence my decision. Let's assume I could choose the island. I would select an island with a warm climate and no winters. I would take with me:
- A laptop with internet access to read a lot of papers, booking and for writing.
- Any energy resource (solar panels)
- An airplane because I need a possibility for some variety and visit another place (therefore I would need to get a flight licence or an autonomous airplane)
