Off cycle, non-target looking for mock interview buddies

Hi all,

I graduated from and played baseball at Cal State Fullerton (next to disneyland) in the class of 2016. At the time, I had no idea investment banking existed. However, I managed to network my way into a private equity consulting firm (think hamilton lane or torrey cove) in California after graduation and have been here slightly under two years. I have been networking ~7 months to break into IB and have a few potential leads. I am looking to sharpen my interview skills to be as polished as possible for any potential opportunity and would love to have a couple people who are also looking to break in to have some phone interviews with. I figured we would both benefit from this, so please feel free to shoot me a dm. Also, if you are more experienced any advice is appreciated! Thank you all.
