Feeling stuck after 1yr of IB.

Analyst here at a BB Product Group, just wrapped up my first year. I feel really stuck and lost recently…our group barely models and we still work long hours (don’t have much time to study).


Wanna know how to best prep for buy side interviews. I am interested in private credit but I constantly feel underprepared.
