Interview Prep for PE Operations / Financial Consulting roles

Hey guys! As stated in title, prepping for Financial consulting type roles (think rx consulting, PE operations / consulting, Due Diligence, M&A Strategy, etc.)

This will be for a junior year internship (undergrad). Would love to hear thoughts on the most efficient way to go about prep. Would starting with 400 guide / IB prep be the best way to go about it? Casing? Other technicals I might not know about...

“Javier Barrena provided really detailed walkthrough on how he approached a similar tasking before, and although I entered the session not knowing how to approach this case study at all, I have a much clearer picture now. This session was extremely effective, and it's fortunate that he had the availability to do this despite my case study task coming in at a very last minute.”

“Jorge was very practical and generous with his time. He gave me a clear action plan: tighten my elevator pitch to under 2 min, do a weekly modelling case study, and prep technicals, market questions and behaviourals. His networking advice (always ask each contact for 1-2 more names, track fund closes to spot hiring windows, a list of London infra headhunters) was very actionable. He also referred me internally to Nuveen within a week. Only point to improve: I’m still waiting for his feedback on the case studies I sent.”
