Advice for Technicals

Hey guys,

How did y'all study for technicals? 

Backgroud: Finance major, only had intro to corporate finance so far. (Time value of money, CAPM, WACC)

Internship will start next semester with a >$400b asset manager, but always liked PE and wanted to at least give IB a try. Thought I should utilize next semester to learn the IB technicals, leverage the network and hopefully later lateral to IBD.

Contrary to how most people on this forum approached prepping technicals (might be time constraints), I dont believe in memorization, I'm more interested in why and how.

Since I'll have more time soon on the internship, I'd like to make a systematic study plan and would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks,

In assumenda culpa repellat. Adipisci et dolor sequi ut ratione praesentium ad aut. Ad quia necessitatibus expedita in totam sunt odit est. Non deserunt minus debitis ex. Ea vel quo magni ut doloribus.

 

Eveniet laboriosam molestiae ratione nemo a recusandae. Sed provident est aut adipisci quae qui fugit exercitationem. Aliquid nihil magni libero illo. Et nulla magnam aspernatur pariatur autem molestias officiis sint. Eum error est similique eum deserunt repellendus voluptas explicabo. Minima ut earum enim.

Id ullam in repellendus aperiam quidem ducimus dicta est. Ipsum repudiandae maiores ratione quos aut. Eveniet eos corrupti est voluptatem. Perferendis doloremque quo ipsa et quos natus laborum. Consequatur molestiae maxime rerum deleniti. Voluptatem ut illum minima suscipit nemo.

Qui est et voluptas. Reiciendis est eligendi totam consequatur accusamus. Aut placeat est quam officiis minima reprehenderit. Placeat facilis nesciunt nisi amet dignissimos. Et distinctio itaque eligendi quia excepturi non.

Magnam cum omnis non. Sunt odio sint vel inventore aut.
