Hi all,
So I come from a corporate banking background with minimal modeling experience beyond an at home course etc. managed to get an Associate IB position in a coverage position at a decent bank through my industry knowledge and interview skills. A bit worried about my excel/modeling skills now that I’ve started. Any tips to get up to speed ASAP/anyone else ever been in a similar situation?

You’ll be fine. I would take an excel course, then just spend time parsing old models, both online (see above) and (more importantly) old ones on your new firm’s drive.
