Moving to MFPE from BB coverage team in the summer and looking for advice on good courses to take for someone transitioning to buyside.
Studied engineering in undergrad, took a few finance classes & just intro financial accounting. Do you suggest taking higher level accounting classes or will 2 yrs banking level accounting suffice?

Accounting can be helpful, but when doing a deal, PE firms generally hire a Big 4 or whatever to do a QoE from what I have seen. Those firms bring in accountants. If you have any accounting questions you could just ask them. Best wishes
