Shills incoming... (yes, ibvine is the real deal) (not a shill)
How much of a difference do you think it made in your recruiting besides the free guides?
When I recruited IBVine was free, know they’ve revamped it but generally would say yes it’s worth is. Sure there are similar free resources out there (or just read the guide questions straight), but this is very little investment for something that could make a large impact on your early career depending on how well it helps you study
Just use Claude...Free guides will be more than enough...If you wanna get cute there is always a way back in time ;)
Any prompts you find useful in making some of these guides?
You should learn to prompt Claude on your own. This will increasingly be a differentiator and a marketability trait. I would prompt it to scrape WSO threads that indicate high upvotes on IB techincals (You can scrape manually btw too) - upload all the guides into a project folder, create skills based on Q Banks and have it iterate over time to be more quiz like in nature - have it base all of this off studies on human learning so it delivers the output to you in a way or a structure that is most conducive to learning.
