Prep/Crash Course for IB MBA Interview (Beginner Level, NO prior experience)
Hi, this is my first post on WSO.
I will be joining a M7 MBA program in fall 2024 and I hope to break into investment banking. The recruitment season for MBA starts in early Sept. so I hope to get a head start. I come from a marketing background with almost no financial knowledge. Could anyone please recommend a program/course for me?
I am looking for a "crash course" to self study for investment banking this summer to prepare myself for the interview and the full time job. The most important part is the prepping for the interviews and hopefully I can hone my technical skills when I am in the program.
Currently, I'm comparing Breaking Into Wall Street, Wall Street Oasis, Wall Street Prep. I'm confused by all the different courses that they have....Could someone please direct me to a certain course? Or maybe other websites/resources?
Thank you very much!
