Is learning financial modelling a waste of time?
I'm at uni and just started learning financial modelling. I want to use it to put on my CV so that it will help me land a interview. This guy says you shouldn't even try? Is he right?

The guy is a fucking moron. Learn how to model because that is what you’ll do on the job about 20-30% of the time. Plus it’ll help you with building your technical knowledge for interviews.
I started out by learning how to make 3 statement models, DCF’s, LBO’s etc. and by the time I got to studying for interview questions I knew mostly everything and didn’t really have to memorize much. Of course this will be different for everyone but modeling is definitely great practice!
