Hi everyone. When you hear from the 1st round phone interview, usually it will be scheduled within 2-3 days. Then around 1 week later, 2nd round/superday may be scheduled shortly. It's important to prepare before acrually hearing back from the 1st round.
I wonder how much time you spent on behavioral and technique parts before the 1st round?

What about market new? Did you follow market news everyday to cultivate market insights? I think market sensitivity and thoughts on market news are not the things that can practice within several days.
Read WSJ every day for at least 5 min. It can be just reading headlines or reading a few articles. Most schools give subscriptions. It's kind of too late now since recruiting is almost over but just make it a habit for at least 30 days and you'll eventually be able to take in info and not only understand it but expand on it and make your own conclusions. I did this for about 6 months
