Following. Would love to know this as well..
Found this course to be pretty helpful when I was learning the fundamentals - https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/certifications/commercial-banking…
Bump
A number of law firms have guides or primers to credit agreements, I think the one I used when I was in corporate banking was the Cravath one.
All you need to know is how to control F 10ks and 10qs for rational behind financial performance and then control c it and control v it into your credit memo or update and change the words where needed.
I’d gtfo out the industry after 6 -12 months. Once you learn the commercial products and have a sense of the IB products, accounting, and how to put together a credit memo it’s boring af and the learning curve essentially vanishes.
good money / client interaction / good hours / sensible people / always an exit opp into IB if needed - why leave?
Exactly why I’m not leaving.
These are some of the many reasons I wanted to pursue CB as opposed to other paths. Do you have any tips for someone about to be a SA?
there isn't much to it.. just like any other job - show up, don't be late, participate, and have a good attitude
Thank you! Any good technical tips or things to be knowledgeable about that would set me apart? I’ve been doing a lot of reading but wanna be as prepared as possible
I would say knowing how to finesse ppt and excel is great. You need to be able to read and interpret what's going on in a model on the job and you'll also be doing random ad-hoc database management tasks a lot so knowing how to build formulas and going through/organizing data is a big plus. It's hard for me to say because I did several years of commercial banking before corporate banking, so I kind of knew the components of a credit agreement, term sheet, etc. well ahead of starting as a corporate banking analyst - but that isn't stuff you can prepare for/learn before the job starts so don't waste your time trying.
Resources? Sure, how about leave corporate banking since it's a pigeon job. Get into PE or IB or S&T.
