What does it depend on?
Most likely useless
Spend your time trying to understand the nuances of the sector, that will give you an edge.
Most people dont get return offers at FIG due to not understanding whats being analyzed and the bank/insurance/am... specifics
Thanks what is the best way to do this?
Apologies for the delay
I would say that the best thing you can do is to read about the industry, right now its booming and being able to understand whats going on and not having to ask to your analyst for every step you are asked will be appreciated for sure
Then reading some 10K, 10Qs from Insurance, Banks, AMs, Depositories... will help you to know which drivers are important
Just with that you should be well positioned, this is a sector where understanding the sector / metrics is very important, this does also apply to RE and P&U... so the same advice can also be of help
You will have time to model as an analyst, and you will be taught, so enjoy your time until you hit your desk

Incoming levfin SA here, why would this help more than for FIG? Are you referring to the fact that 3-statement modeling is more relevant to levfin?
Incoming M&A SA, would this course be useful? How should I be preparing?
