Would highly recommend familiarizing yourself with basic excel, do a crash course and learn the biws actg, valuation and multiples guides on the minimum. Practise a couple of basic 3 statement and dcfs, maybe 1 lbo as well just to get used to shortcuts and the way models are set up and u should be okay.
Average Canadian. Why are Canaidans such hardos for no reason? I don't know what happens in Canada; but in the US, interns are mostly judged on attitude, being easy to get along with, and being willing to work hard. Nobody wants or is letting an intern touch a live deal or even pitch model. Your job is to allign logos, make decent looking slides, and maybe refresh some comps. Just have to have a positive attitude, be normal, and pretend you are interested in the job to get a return.
I mean those were all pre requisites for me as well but these were things that just helped me going in to the job. Im
Super grateful i was on a few live deals but i know that was a one off situation because it was a busy summer.
Also the intern class was evaluated based on technical capabilities as the summer progressed, but a positive attitude, willingness to work, and culture fit trump not being too technically advanced as long as u can demonstrate a “genuine” interest in the job
