I can hear ITS people tracking your ip....
Why do you want to go into banking? DamodAran isn't difficult. It just takes a logical mind. It is an expanded CAPM model - determining fundamental betas, weighting growth rates, adjusting cash flows, etc ... If it doesn't interest you in any way, you are heading into the wrong field. You should be lucky that you are learning it in undergrad – it will give you an edge. The logic behind it is exactly what you will be using when (if) you get into banking, s&t, pe. If you want to experience complex valuation, experiment with option-pricing theories to price assets.
Ugh, I hated options-pricing, absolutely sucked at trying to price credit default swaps...
even elementary options pricing is more complex than the hardest thing bankers think about
I don't think elementary options pricing is harder than structuring an $ billion-worth M&A transaction which takes you to figure out how to deal with cross-hatching ownership structure and yet to keep a transaction viable for both parties involved, monetary-, time- and legal risk-wise.
So, I guess you underestimate what we (IB analysts) really involved into
hmm aligning logos, making pie charts and keeping a dataroom updated? lmao no IB analyst is doing big brain work sorry
