Technical Preparation...

I know a lot of people have asked about this on prior and recent threads but can anyone direct me towards some some interview preparation resources they used for the SA 2025 cycle and found helpful? I am already familiar with the BIWS guide and the well known resources, just trying to be a bit more thorough!

Thanks in advance...

I’ve heard of people using overlevered—a bit pricey and questions are decent. The best site I used is liquidityshark their question bank is very thorough and I think they use real questions too

 

Can confirm Overlevered is goated / helped me land multiple banks. Haven’t heard of liquidityshark but it looks like a worse version of Overlevered lol

 

All of the resources mentioned here previously are helpful, but I think just going on quizlet and finding as many questions online as you possibly can is very good practice. At the end of the day once you've learned the concepts you just need to be ripping through practice questions & there are a lot to work through on the internet.

 

I'd add A Simple Model too, it's really cheap comparatively to Financial Edge, WSP, etc. and imo the teaching is leagues better from someone who bought FE but got ASM for free through an internship. Really good for your first times building a model from scratch and since it's a monthly sub you can pretty much learn it all in 1-2 months and only spend like 30 bucks compared to the hundreds of dollars for the other courses
