Plenty of free resources out there. Depends on what group you’re joining but def know how to model a 3 statement and LBO at the least. Not tough to learn just need to put time towards it

I would be joining the M&A group so sell-side advisory. Any recommendations on where to start online?

Macabacus has a good modeling resource. Scour thru this bowl and also Wall Street oasis you will find plenty

Would love to get your input on this but how do you guys feel about consulting, especially with a STEM background? I have worked on studies where we make recommendations that anybody with a basic scientific/engineering knowledge will say “yea, no f-ing sh*t. We want to do that too. But it’s impossible to achieve from technical perspective with the money we have. You don’t think we already thought of that?”

Additional Posts in Investment Banking - IBD

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.
