Trying to get into the IB world. Do employers care if you do Wall Street prep or other training material? I know Wall Street prep works with Deloitte and big banks for day 1 trainings. Would it help boost my resume or is experience really the key and that these training courses may boost my profile of having tangible skill?

They might value you taking any unsponsored series exams you can. Not that the exams are difficult, but it’s a compliance headache so they may value you knocking some of them out. As far as modeling goes if you come in as an analyst or associate they should have training for that since their MBA and campus hires get those programs

Not sure what you mean by MIA (care to clarify?)
But would be off-cycle and network my way in however possible. Also looking into M&A work at consulting to push into IB that was. Any proposal?

I did work in Corp. Tax on M&A transaction. Internships in M&A departments. Moved to ACN. However disappointed once arrived at the lac of M&A activity here and sole focus is on IT (Harley any DD in any way. Tried to network my way into the M&A team but practice is small and tight. Falling disappointed and frustrated
