How have you guys been preparing for the process? The breadth of material plus the demands of the job are just insane... Trying to figure out the best way to tackle this with the very limited amount of time on our hands. Also what are you guys doing for references? Very difficult to list reputable senior references at this point since most of us are 1st years and just started a few months ago. Also I don't know about you guys, but it doesn't seem like a smart idea to talk to senior guys about trying to jump ship to PE and to get their approval to be a reference if / when they are called on. What are you guys doing about that as well? Thanks.
