How to become solid at modeling (IBD analyst) when my group has terrible deal flow and not enough modeling opportunities for analysts ? I’ve tried CFI, WSP etc but my associate says I need real cases and it won’t help me.

Ya i mean unfortunately this is why investment bankers at better firms are better bankers. Theyre just better at the technical stuff cause they get exposure to that kind of stuff.

Its just the nature of the game.

Really all you can do is what yiure doing and eventually try to lateral do a mid market or something eith better deal flow.

yeah tbh you learn a lot by getting reps in

i suppose if you have downtime, can you review previous models that were prepared?

i would focus on learning why they took certain approach / assumptions.

it is hard to learn the how without being there during it. tbh the how is a bit easier to pick up with reps

This although i know some teams are super sensitive about sharing that information. That kind of gatekeep past work if you weren't on it.

Look at models your team has built for prior transactions and try to replicate / rebuild them

Ex: there is a column "points", a new record should be inserted only if points in the new record is greater than highest points already inserted in db or else throw that points are less

How i should approach this if i get lot of requests (say 10k) all a time. How can I achieve consistency and handle with less response time

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

Hi all, how did you solve the retirement puzzle?

As an expat, I went on the Degiro for investing at the moment, since the account can be used from all countries.

Have any tips?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
