I wasted 400+ hours of my time on:
— Reading the 400 IB questions
— Writing out scripts for my behavioral answers
— Networking with the wrong people
I was busy but had nothing to show for it.
Instead, I have focused on:
— Mock interviews with a dedicated high finance professional.
— Email outreach targeting analysts (typically the ones who will review your resume first).
— Outreach to more senior professionals so that I could bring a perspective to the interview unique to the place at which I was interviewing.
Remember, it's time spent on the right things that matters.
That is, if you want to land a $100k+ job right after graduation.
