Pre-Work Tips
I just accepted an offer with a Top Tier BB. I'm one of two new analysts coming into the group - everyone else is returning from the summer. What should I do to come in and not be too far behind the curve? Should I visit the office before starting training? What books do you recommend to become an Excel Ninja? I'm Liberal Arts, so what financial analysis books do you recommend? (Last summer I was at another BB, but I did not do any valuation work except for comparable transactions and market multiples.) Thanks.

the fuck are you aspiring money. shut the fuck up and stop handing out advice. read your fucking disclaimer and follow it. 921 posts? are you fucking kidding me man.
maybe less posting and you'd have a fucking job by now. damn!
I thought I covered this before...does your type really think that your little post will scare me to stop posting?
And whats wrong with my advice? Thats what training is for...to teach people...this is an entry level job, no prior experience needed(he actually does have it)...so whats wrong with telling someone not to worry about it and wait for training?
P.S. becoming an Ibanker won't make your mommy love you
I bought my mom a car and it helped.

really not trying to bash you man. you just remind me of a good buddy of mine who was really intent on breaking into the industry but all his efforts were ill-placed.
best of luck with your search. its still early in teh year, hope you land somewhere.
p.s. im not deprived of any love.
for me banking is a long-term move, and with my current credentials I'm fully aware that the chances are very low, but that is why there is the <abbr title="Masters in Business Administration

(1) Set up the easiest spring course schedule imaginable (2) Set up an insane spring break--spare no expense (3) Drink / do drugs on a regular basis (4) Plow sluts everyday (5) Get in ridiculous shape (6) Work on your tan--preferably on like a Tuesday at noon with a Corona (7) If you're feeling ambitious find a current / former analyst and get a copy of his Training the Street materials and study that ONE week before training. That is all you need.
well put
Sounds good, but stay off the drugs. You will be tested.
It's against the law. I think other NYC analysts have to get tested but not until like July so you have plenty of time--don't worry.
Thanks.
Oh find a place to live. You don't want to be on the streets after you graduate and your college kicks you out of the dorms. Maybe start shopping for a car if you want one (BTW you won't NEED one unless you're working in LA or sth or live in NJ and work in NYC or something. I guess it's just another pleasure thing to keep around) But don't like start doing models or whatever. You'll to plenty of that once you start.
Don't get shitfaced the night before the first day of work. First impression actually counts.
