Good luck my man or woman. And don’t discount what you’ve already achieved. I’ve been at top schools and programs, great firms (including McKinsey) and lesser known ones … and there isn’t anything magical about anyplace.

My biggest takeaway is that I’ve always been happy and that must mean I’m happy, not some accolade or income. So do your best but make sure to not sweat it too much: the best indicator of what happens to you is your drive, judgment, and intellect, not some name on an email or LinkedIn profile. Fingers crossed for you.

Considering pivoting into a local MM IB. As my title suggests, my technical skills aren’t as honed as one who has focused on the analysis route. How much of being an Analyst at a smaller IB is technical skill heavy coming into the role? I hold my 7, 66, 24, and am not worried about getting the 79. Any input for how realistic this is? When looking at one particular firm’s career page it doesn’t mention technical skills or modeling once, which led me to believe it may be less important than soft.
