On the sixth day, Patrick made the search feature.
Build a strong personal network of people in various positions (from analyst to senior bankers) and understand basic technicals (DCF, accounting, comps, etc.). If you want to target an industry coverage group, understand the major drivers of some of the sub-sectors/verticals in that industry.
I wouldn't say it's necessary to keep up with the markets since the job is transaction based (and I myself was never asked a market related question in my interviews).
Hope this helps!
Thanks that was helpful!
