Burnt Out Studying - How Much Do You Really Need To Know
I'm so pooped out of studying interviews, yeah call me whiny. I've been no life studying this past month on top of my current SA to get a good banking FT offer, and am at a loss. I find myself pretty pooped in terms of how important it is to study all these advanced technical questions. Like for a merger model, I can confidently walk through it, I conceptually get it, can breeze through the merger math, but do you really need to know every damn general intangible that can impact the combined company!?!?
I'm calling cap on all the wso students who said they learned all this shit in 2 weeks as a sophomore.
Nobody ever fought for a summer analyst because they “were sooooo good technically”. Literally it’s always “they seem like a great team player” “great attitude” “just gets it” etc. You know why? You’re meant to be a fucking sponge when you get here and nobody wants to be around a 20 year old know it all who memorized all digits of pi and the disclaimer section of Rosenbaum and Pearl for an interview. Those are the ones who start frothing at the mouth when you ask them a simple soft ball question and completely blow it by looking like a unnerved spazz or vacant deer caught in headlights.
In short you know enough to “get it”, don’t fuck up on basic accounting technicals and think through multi step accounting methods out loud. Smile and don’t look stressed and you’ll be fine. Good luck.
