MBA Student Need Help prepping for I.B. & E.R. interviews

Hello Everyone,

I feel like I have finally made some great strides since 2019 when I felt like my career hit a plateau in wealth management. I'm 31 doing my MBA at a t-25. Anyway, I've been reading different resources from here and other things my friends and classmates have shared with me regarding how to prep for interviews etc. I got an invite for an E.R. summer associate role at a E.B. firm. I also got invited for IB summer associate to a boutique firm. I did a hirevue for one BB which I felt I did well on, but obviously that was only hirevue and I don't know what their upcoming schedule is like. I did pymetrics test for a different EB firm IB summer associate role, still awaiting next steps from them.

Can anyone please give me a few tips what sort of things to prep for in terms of case studies etc?

Umm isn't it a bit too late to start recruiting for IB? Don't know much about ER but I believe IB recruiting cycles are pretty much about to end.

Anyways, I'll say the best prep for IB technicals is the book 'Investment Banking...' by Rosenbaum and Pearl, and the '400 Investment Banking Questions'. Google those and you should find copies to buy (or otherwise lol).
