Hi everyone,
I'm seeking advice on entering finance / investment banking and would appreciate some guidance.

Profile in brief:
Post-graduation completed in 2020. Experience across multiple roles. Completed an Investment Banking Nanodegree Jobaaj with hands-on valuation and modeling projects.
My questions:
1. Which entry or junior finance roles would you recommend targeting with this background?
2. What skills or tools should I prioritize strengthening right now to improve my interview outcomes?
