Break into valuations/TS/TAS

I’m a recent Master’s in Finance graduate with a 4.0 GPA, internship experience in FP&A, club experience in equity research and due diligence, and a capstone focused on M&A valuation. I’m proficient in Excel, Python, and financial modeling. I’d love guidance on how to position myself better for entry-level valuations/TS/TAS opportunities at firms like the Big 4, Alvarez & Marsal, and similar platforms.

What are some practical steps or strategies that worked for you when entering this space?
