Lateral from consulting to IB. Did 1 year in consulting now joining BB in coverage. Put simply I'm nervous as fuck. I can handle the admin stuff, but I'm worried on the technical front (modelling). Didn't do a lot of it in college and while I have been preparing using CFI and WSP, I don't feel ready. My bank is treating me like an incoming 1st year, but they don't do modelling workshops for anyone (including regular 1st years). Any tips?

I wouldn’t worry too much, I’d spend most of your time learning fundamentals of accounting and understanding the financial statements and how to navigate them. Your peers will help you along modeling. I’m familiar with CFI and while comprehensive and very good they tend to go into a lot of unnecessary detail and make things longer and more comprehensive than in practice.
