My Biggest Mistake
Hi there,
Wanted to share my biggest mistake
When I was in your shoes recruiting, I was too caught up with studying technicals
I spent 3-4 hours / day going through the 400 questions trying to learn all the concepts
I was skeptical that these questions weren’t covering 100% of the material asked in interviews
So I started watching YouTube videos and searched endlessly on google for advanced and more obscure questions
In the end, I gained a ton of knowledge about technicals and finance
I even secured the investment banking internships I dreamed of landing
However, I wasted so much of my precious time that I can never get back in the process
Instead
I should have done mock interviews to get live feedback and gotten actual teaching rather than self studying and regret all my wasted time
