  1. WSO and Break Into Wall Street courses.
  2. Start networking, writing to analysts on Linkedin.
  3. Read news every day (WSO, FT, The Economist, efinancialcareers).
  4. Brush up your resume, give it to some people for review.
  5. Start preparing excel with all BB/MM/Boutiques/PEs and reasearch the spring weeks/ summer internship deadlines.
 

Hey thanks for the response. do you recommend any specific courses or licenses. such as FINRA license or Real estate courses?

 

do you have any advice on how to learn how to make dcfs well and do valuations, I’m just starting out. I have some accounting background but no modeling experience. how long will it take to get good at it?
