How Long Does it Take to Prepare for EB Technicals?

Hi all,

I'm currently at a target school recruiting for 2023 SA positions. I recently received a first round interview for an EB (Lazard/Moelis/Evercore), which is scheduled for next week. I have my basic technicals down (e.g. walk me through a DCF, walk me through the 3 financial statements, etc.), but I have heard that EB technicals are notoriously difficult. Is 4-5 days enough for me to cram advanced technicals to an extent that I can make it to the superday and hopefully land the offer? I have the BWIS 400 questions guide as well as the WSO course bundle.

i was in the same boat, I learned in all in a weekend (1day and a half). If anything it matters that you understand the concept, not memorize it. Most of the technicals asked were applying the concept.

 

Second this, non div at a target and just received EVR/CVP. Grinded out all technicals in 2 days, so def can be done if u work at it. U also sound like you’re in a pretty good spot already too, would just lock in the next few days to have a deep understanding of stuff and you should be good
