Best Banks/Groups to Get Really Good At Modelling and Hard Skills
I rlly don't think I want to do banking long term, so one of my main priorities is getting to wizard-level at Excel/related hard skills even though the concrete applications change in HF/PE (where I want to be). Would be really interested to hear where you all think (both in terms of banks and coverage groups) that you can truly walk away from 2yr in banking and have an elite toolkit when compared to others in IB to transfer over to the buyside. As far as groups, seems like Infra/Power/Industrials/Energy-type industries might give me the really nitty gritty exposure I'm looking for but would be curious to hear what you guys think as far as building out a hard toolkit to go along with all of the other important skills that are required for any successful career in finance. Thanks for any help in advance!
Would highly suggest that you focus on getting a gig within an M&A group at a given bank rather than focusing on industry groups. M&A analysts spend 90%+ of their time in excel whereas people like myself in industry groups (I'm in consumer) have to deal with all the marketing and probably only spend 40% of our time in excel. Industry groups definitely have their perks, but for your situation M&A is the best group to be in.
