Hello I am from a big 4 background and I am joining a mid market IB. My modelling experience is limited and I want to start preparing ahead of the job. What sort of models should I know really well how to build and what sort of complexity? If anyone can recommend any courses that target mid market IB this would be great. Thank you in advance
