What’s the best preparation before starting FT? Is it strictly mastering excel, PP etc, obviously having some industry competence/insight and showing enthusiasm/motivation?
What would you guys add?
Know most of the work is extremely basic in the beginning (excel, maybe some modeling etc.)
Would really appreciate some input.
Thanks a lot.
