Modeling in AM vs IB?

Hi friends,

Is there any difference in Excel modeling between AM and IB?

My guess would be that AM is more towards the 3-statements model and DCF and comparables while IB builds M&A models, LBO, etc... What are your thoughts?

Plus, I've been seeing in the forum the modeling training packages from Wallstreetprep (which WSO promotes with an offer until Aug 31 2018) vs BIWS and all threads date back from 2009, 2012, 2014 etc.

Could anyone compare it on 2018?

Thanks in advance,
