Forgot to mention this is for entry level - analyst

Yea, done a lot of those. Just trying to cover my bases

If you've done those, Your bases are covered. IBD interviews are *literally* brainless. Rinse and repeat questions... go a round with McKinsey and then start asking for advice.

@GS1, thanks

Hi all, looking to ramp up quickly on my financial modeling skills before an interview for a corporate strategy role.
I've had some M&A DD experience in consulting, but it's been over a year since this.

The role is primarily looking for someone comfortable in sketching out different financial models for different market opportunities.

Thanks!

Many thanks.
