Hi all,
Got approached for a position but don't feel ready yet to interview - I have good transaction experience for a 1st year Analyst (ignore my title) but relatively weak modeling skills.
Wondering whether you only get one shot per spot i.e whether failing here would prevent me from ever joining that team.
Been holding off on recruiting so far but joining this specific team was always my #1 objective.
