If you had two days to prep for an EB interview and felt unprepared how would you most efficiently allocate your time?

I just got an interview and feel super unprepared. I’ve been studying techs and practicing behavioral stuff for a couple months but still don’t feel ready to be grilled. Is all hope lost for me? What would you do if you were me? Thanks

What EB is interviewing right now? As far as I'm aware, PJT and CVP are the only ones that haven't started, at least for M&A. PJT has finished Rx.

 

I'm in the same boat. Coming from a non finance background and have a few interviews lined up and a superday. I'm more worried about getting grilled on technicals as I really don't know shit. 

 

To be most efficient, I would spend the next two days praying to the god that you believe in.

 

bump! better to push back on timing, withdraw, or just go into the interview with 95% chance of bombing it?
