Future Summer Analysts in Study Abroad
Who is enjoying that last semester before the real work starts, and where at? Also any advice from people that have done this before/how to be ready for the internship when it starts at such a fast turnaround time?
Doing it right now. Stockholm. Cold as fuck.
Jokes aside, this whole fall I was very concerned with how I was gonna get up to speed but I wrote out a study plan and have been doing well so far. Yes, when it gets warm this might be harder to pull off, yes I should expand my "worldview" by seeing where Alexander the Dank pulled his shaft out or whatever, but there is so much free time - classes are easy and grades don't direct transfer for my GPA. I know I sound like a cocky douche here but please know that I understand I don't know shit. Anyway, see the summated plan below:
I started last Monday and it works out to finish by right around the end of April. This leaves me the full month of May to travel (and I DO plan to travel during spring break and occasional weekends too, including next weekend). I literally got some ass today so don't act like I'm becoming some hermit because of this.
which resources are you using?
I bought the BIWS premium package sophomore year. Best ROI ever. Idk if it’s still $600 but even if it was $1k I can’t recommend it enough for sophomores gearing up for their SA interviews
How overkill is it for SAs? Most people have said to me interns don't really do any modelling
Idk bruh my SA is this upcoming summer.
Even if it’s overkill, there’s tons of cases/prep for PE/GE/HF/ER/any exit opp you can think of. This course will and has already paid me dividends.
Yeah same, I got nothing else to do so may as well overprepare. How many total hours does the course take do you know?
Depends on your baseline knowledge. I’m forcing myself to do two hours, and not stopping if I’m done with a topic. You can always learn more.
If you know accounting well, the rest will flow easily. I’d say you could get pretty damn ready (know the mechanics, but not do the actual modeling) in 20-30 hours.
You’re gonna get out what you put in to it.
I know technicals like the back of my hand (from interview prep) but I'm mid at excel (currently doing the wso course) and very little modelling experience
