FINALLY DID IT

Hi all, FINALLY got an IB offer from a top shop in southern EMEA. For context, Im a 1st year euro target masters student. My main hurdle has always been a lack of relevant experience but hopefully this box is ticked now.

Any advice on how to prepare for this off-cycle? How should I go about recruiting for London SA2026 while working? Especially as this shop is known for being good but sweaty. Thanks for any insight!!
