IB Prep Insight

I've been prepping for the upcoming IB recruiting cycle and here's what I've found useful:

1) Reading The Pulse (a recruiting newsletter outlining application deadlines and discussing financial market current events): HoosHelpers--The Pulse (beehiiv.com)

2) Staying up to date with Macro events (by reading WSJ and Yahoo Finance)

3) 15 minutes of behavioral prep a day

4) Reading the Daily Peel: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/media/newsletters…

Keep it up man, those are great ways to prep behaviorals. I love the Pulse and am a big fan of the Daily Peel. Make sure to start networking if you haven't already, you can check out one of my earlier posts where I go into detail about networking.
