If the dress code says business attire, I’d definitely avoid a gown. I’d opt for a fantastic cocktail dress (and a shawl/pashmina of some sort in case the venue is freezing 🙃)

like

I’d interpret this as a silk blouse and skirt, dressy jumpsuit, or pantsuit with a blazer or tweed jacket

Work dress if the attire is business

Not a gown. Maybe a casual dress or a nice blouse and skirt

Black dress and silk shawl or pashmina, fabulous heels and fun jewelry.

Looking for recommendations on financial modeling courses (paid) that I can take for 3 statements/operating model, valuations, M&A, & LBO. Have been getting interviews with banks (3 in 2 months) but I come up short with the modeling experience (and weak on the technicals too). I’m thinking doing a modeling course will help with the no modeling experience + update my technicals? Thanks.

This might sound dumb...but how do I start looking at what’s out there! I’m a rising senior 3 and am planning to leave the firm next year. I know I don’t want PA anymore but how do go about looking? Should I start replying to all the Linked in messages from recruiters? How do you tell the difference between recruiters worth your time or not. Should I just go off Glassdoor? Indeed? EY is my first job out of college so this is all new to me and I don’t want to mess up.
