BEST Investment Banking Advice you received???

Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>So I'm a newbie to this forum, and I've found College Confidential to be a great resource - I've spent the past 2 days solid reading all of the posts here.</p>

<p>Basically I'm really nervous about sitting my IB interviews, and I need all the prep I can get. I'm fine with Fin Modelling etc but its really the interviews that are really got me nervous. I've heard they can be ruthless. </p>

<p>I've found a few great free resources, notably Mergers and Inquisitions (but found them a bit too 'salesy'), Management Consulted - though for MCs I still found the learnings transferrable, and<br>
Inside Investment Banking's free tutorials helpful also.</p>

<p>But I want to keep learning as much as I can so I'm fully prepared, so the buck can't just stop here. </p>

<p>Could anyone give me any tips for my resumes & interviews, I'm getting really desperate, and I want to be fully prepared. </p>

<p>What was your experience like?</p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Madison</p>

<p>Relax. If you’ve already been selected for an interview it means they already like you enough to ask you to come in.</p>

<p>I agree that you should relax to an extent. You should know your stuff though some interviews can be brutal and its crucial you come across as someone who the interviewer could imagine working 16 hours a day with.</p>

<p>Do as much research about the culture of the shop you’re interviewing at and make sure you will be a good fit. Check out <a href=“http://www.wallstreetoasis.com%5B/url%5D”>www.wallstreetoasis.com</a> for more information.</p>
