Hello fellow monkeys, I am interning at a BB firm next summer. I have never taken a math course in college, and honestly I am not good at math at all. However, I am someone who is a hard worker. I am curious if it will be hard for me to be an ibanker being weak at math.

Can you do basic arithmetic in Excel? If yes, you're good.
I was never good at math as told by parents / teachers / tutors throughout grade school including elementary school and high school. That being said, I always felt I had an analytical mind which actually ended up coming in handy when I started studying and interviewing for banking jobs. Point being, the math you are being asked to do for these roles is nothing insurmountable at all. Like not even one bit. I didn't even consider this to be a math-intensive path when I started studying for IB analyst roles (even within M&A). As long as basic arithmetic isn't the worst for you, you'll be fine.
