Best Study Guide For Interview Prep Only

After reading threads on WSO, I know people are discussing different courses like M&I, WSP or WSO, but I want to know if we need to know hands-on knowledge about excel models if we are only looking for a summer IB intern offer? If modeling is not required, which package would be most recommended?

Yeah don’t over do it in the beginning and set urself up for failure. One step at a time and that includes reaching out to people and networking 1 person at a time. The guide is plenty but have people mentor you in how to build a DCF and LBO if you want to learn that way.

Good luck and hope to help / see you successful. DOnt give up until the very end, I’ve seen people and honestly most people pull through when they keep at it. That’s just how life works. Good luck
