Buy Rosenbaum and Pearl, read it 3 times cover to cover.
Definitely look into a subscription for the WSJ. I think they might have student deals, but you can get it free if your college has a subscription.
Thank you for the recommendations. Would you still recommend Rosenbaum and Pearl given that I have ZERO finance background? Is there something a bit more introductory that I should start out with first? Appreciate the help
I'm a junior going through the process. I read through Rosenbaum and Pearl. It is way more detailed than anything you'll need for an interview and, unless you memorize the whole thing and genuinely understand it, it won't really prepare you for an interview. It also presumes an accounting background. The M&I 400 (google it, there are pdfs everywhere) has all of the questions you'd receive in most interviews. It won't teach you how to do a dcf in excel, but it will teach you how to walk your interviewer through one as efficiently as possible. Especially given the lack of accounting knowledge you probably have. PM me your email and I'll send you some notes I have.
Summer analyst for next summer? So you're a rising junior? Most banks have already started, some are already finished.
rising sophomore. And wow I had no idea
