Here`s my strategy

Hi,

Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Goal: I need to bridge the experience gap for an entry position. I am aiming Transactional Services / corporate finance (M&A).

Here`s my strategy:

1) Practice excel modelling / M&A trainings off high quality videos&books (wall street training + Wall Street Prep + McKinsey's book "Valuation")

2) Build my own financial research with modelling to show future employers that I am already comfortable with the required tasks.

3) Stay up to date with industry news, be able to comment on anything related to front office finance.

Thanks guys!

Are you a student or what? How can we know if this is a good plan or not if we don't know your current situation?

In general: perfect your resume, make contacts in the industry, find jobs to apply for, apply to said jobs, be knowledgeable and passionate when you're interviewing and you should be okay.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
