Have an IB Analyst interview for a MM diversified industrials group, can anyone help me focus my prep?

Been digging into the obvious (e.g. resume, DCF, three-statements, basics of LBO, why IB + this bank) but don’t want to spend unnecessary time on everything that comes up in a google search if it isn’t the right approach.

My background is BSc & MSc in Acct, back office BB intern, big4 audit intern, and current title FT ~ 1.5 yrs. My current role is heavy on 3 statement models/IS forecasts.

Three statement LBO and DCF should be enough. As someone who made a similar lateral move be ready for a modeling test because 4/5 places I interviewed as a lateral analyst all gave me one

Any tips on how to land interviews? I am looking at making the lateral move as well.

Honestly, no tip you haven’t read/heard before without some specifics on your background/experience (considering you’ve already done a lot of due diligence on M&I and WSO). I will say I landed this interview by submitting an application through LinkedIn, and I have LinkedIn premium, which isn’t as helpful a tip since that is usually a low success strategy.

So glad I found this group! I’ve hopped through 3 jobs since graduating 2 years ago. They all start out great- I ace interviews, flourish creatively, and get super positive feedback from managers. Few months in, my interest begins to wane. Productivity dies off, and engagement in my work falls of the cliff. My work suffers and I end up quitting because I hate myself for not showing up when people are counting on me. Any advice?
