My resume says advanced modeling and I can't build a DCF.

I embellished my resume to get the interview (claimed I built LBOs for a club, mostly just did formatting). Now I have a Superday in 2 weeks that includes a modeling test. What is the fastest way to actually learn the skills I claim to have without watching 40 hours of YouTube? I need to go from zero to competent fast lol...

Bro, straight-up liars like you are the reason I'm not getting interviews 😭  

 
Funniest

“lairs” 🥀🥀🥀 there might be bigger issues at play son

 

Have you considered giving up? I’m sure the firm would understand if you let them know you were lying and don’t want to waste their time

 

Embarassing. Why apply for finance roles and lie on your CV, when you cant even motivate yourself to learn some modelling? Did your friends say its cool?
