This week we talk to Zach about taking a leave of absence, self-education, and preparation for consulting job interviews.
Abigail gets ready to defend, Nikhil finishes up experiments, and Jason is a subpar caterer.
Nikhil interviews Zach. They discuss the reasons Zach took a leave of absence, what he did during that time, and how it prepared him for his next career.
During the interview, Zach mentions two books (“the classics”) he has read during his preparation for a consulting job search:
Competitive Strategy by Michael Porter
Competitve Advantage by Michael Porter
