Which Models Should I Focus on Learning?
Incoming freshman here who is dead-set on making IB after college. I plan on getting an internship after my freshman year and I'm aware that modeling skills are absolutely necessary for these. Over the summer I have lots of free time to research finance so which models should I focus on learning? I know DCFs are crucial, but what else? I've seen lists of 10 different models and lists of 4 claiming that these are the necessary models that investment banker must know. So which ones besides the DCF should I prioritize? And if anyone is feeling extra helpful, what's the best way or the way you learned these modeling skills? Your wisdom is much apprecited.
Calm down enjoy college
You may be asked to walk through a verbal DCF, and you should know the dynamics around acc-dil, but interviews really don't touch models so it's not the best use of time and you have to be careful coming off as a hardo studying super hard like this. IB is not that hard to break into especially if you're on this website as an incoming freshman, just get good grades and be involved
Accounting is a harder one to learn so maybe learn those basics. Know stuff around the 3 statements and how those work. Actually, a 3 statement model won't be tested but it will help you know how stuff flows through, which is asked in IB interviews
Also this stuff takes like a month, maybe two months to learn... you have plenty of time. Really try and enjoy your last free summer
