Career Resources
If you're looking for cost-effective tools to prep for interviews, here are some solid options based on the most helpful WSO content:
JobTestPrep: This is the only paid service recommended for practicing aptitude tests. It's affordable and helps you prepare for the tests that often cut a lot of candidates.
WSO IB Interview Course: While not free, this course is highly recommended for its value. It’s a one-time investment that provides comprehensive prep, including behavioral and technical questions, and has been proven effective by many users.
Free Online Resources: You can find plenty of free advice and guides online. For example:
Mock Interviews: Practice with friends or even by yourself in front of a mirror. This method is free and highly effective for improving your delivery and confidence.
Networking: Reach out to people in your network who have gone through the process. They can share insights and even provide you with sample questions they encountered.
Avoid Overpriced Services: Skip CV writing/reading services, mentoring, or masterclasses. These are often overpriced, and the same advice can be found online for free.
By combining these strategies, you can prepare effectively without spending a fortune.

yo was having the same problem, seems like everything is paid now. maybe try ibprepDotapp they are pre cheap or just like reach out to upperclassmen
you might get a decent response if you actually state what you're looking for so people can help e.g. behaviourals, technicals, CV/CL, online assessment
Mostly technical and behavioral stuff
Some which have been helpful to me:
Uni finance societies (often have loads of questions banks and guides which have been passed down by alumni), mergers & inquisitions, privateequitybro
