Prep for SA

So I have a full year before I start my SA stint and I’m really hoping to prep as much as possible. I really, really want the return offer.

For context, Liberal Arts major and I’m gonna be doing M&A at a BB (don’t know if it makes a difference)

I know I probably won’t be allowed to touch a model but I’m working through the Financial Modeling textbook from Wiley (found a PDF online) and I’m trying to figure out the best PP class. Any other input on what else I can be doing to maximize return offer chances and just generally perform well?

Congratulations on your offer! Don’t stress about preparing this early. If your at a decent firm they’ll teach you everything you need to know. Don’t burn yourself out.

 

Why would it be lower next year considering they’re hiring to start full time 2025 and anticipating a resurgence in deal activity?
