SA "Technical" Prep After Getting Laid...
Incoming 26 SA at EB. Class size is 10 and have heard return offers have historically sat around 50%.
I've combed through countless WSO posts with qualitative advice like taking on more capacity, showing great attitude, chatting the office, staying late, etc.
I know that touching grass and getting laid are priorities—but after that, how should I prepare my technical skills to minimize mistakes and ensure great work product next summer? Is it taking courses like WSP?
I read that it's helpful to stay up-to-date on my coverage group but how would that actually translate on the job?
Thank you in advance!
Let's not do this.
Hookers don't count as getting laid...
Nice what was his name?
This is exactly how Billy Walsh would respond, especially because this poster sounds like Turtle
I think yall might be misunderstanding me a bit - I didn’t say I got laid I’m asking what advice you have to technical prep for my summer besides getting laid
Man no one understands what you're saying. Do you think getting laid will improve your technicals? Did someone give you the advice to get laid while working in banking? Why is this such a priority?
Honest truth, if it's as cut throat of a team as you say, you will NOT be getting laid unless you 1) have a gf before the summer 2) pay for it (no judgement), or 3) sacrifice work commitments to constantly go out chasing ass on the weekends
I guarantee you your overworked analysts will love hearing about that after they pulled an all-nighter Saturday night
My bad for the misleading title.
To answer your question: yes I made a similar post before and the only feedback and comments I got was “get laid” and “touch grass” so I wanted to make another post and hear some other advice
after getting laid, comes getting paid. But if you get pay after you lay, then you basically become a hooker since people pay hookers to leave.
Couple useful hints:
1. I would get as jacked as possible between now and summer. Not joking, it will help a lot in intimidating the first year analysts. Most of the first years are pale skinny pukes because they have no time to workout so this will give you the upper hand
2. Walk in with blue bottle as much as possible. It’s high quality coffee and will signal your status right away
3. I would try to go out to solid bars like Mr Purple and fiddlesticks. Never hurts to mention that you went to those to the bullpen
4. Never lie to your analyst. As top bucket analyst for two years, if you dare lie about a mistake I will make sure to ruin your life the rest of the summer. If you f*** up the Gross profit benchmarking, just admit it and don’t do it again. If you lie I will seek to make sure you never touch the banking industry again.
Lastly and most importantly, LIVE AND BREATHE finance. Know interest rate spreads, know WACC, know your MDs biggest deals. This is key. You need to establish yourself right away as the star. Especially at EBs where everyone is jacked, good looking, and successful. BE THE DOG.
Do a modeling course (I did BIWS) and maybe an excel/ppt course and you'll impress during the summer
Thank you - do you think BIWS is better than WSP?
Not sure but BIWS is solid. You have a lot of time so could do both I guess lol, try getting a login from someone instead paying for 2 tho
