What was your approach preparing for technicals? Could use some guidance.
Hey guys,
I've decided to hunker down and get ready for the accelerated recruiting that will be kicking off next month at my uni (second semester sophomore rn). Right now I can talk about the different valuation methodologies, walk you through a DCF, calculate & explain WACC, and other very basic first round technicals.
At the moment I feel an overload of information when looking at technical prep sources. I want to be prepared for anything, and would love to know how some of you guys prepared. I like to take a structured and calculated approach in my studying (like someone would study for the GMAT), so hearing how others have tackled this would be very helpful.
I've got the latest WSO report and the M&I 400. What topics should I focus on most? What are some critical high-level things to understand?
I know there are very similar threads out there packed with questions that are asked, but none are really focused on how people approached this in a methodological fashion.
First and foremost, calm down. One thing that I had to get used to was memorizing information and not understanding how all of it works. Personally, I think I studied about 5 to 10 hours max in total to prep.
