Hi guys,
I am a first year student in a top US MBA (H/S/W). I would love to work in IB in London and, therefore, I wanted to know:
1) When do the top IB summer program applications open?
2) My background has been in the intersection of consulting and FS, however, I never did any IB prep. What do you recommend to prep? (I assume WSO resources, but can anyone do a quick walk-through of the key things?)
I really appreciate the help!
