Hey guys, so I'm in my junior year and until recently, decided to go into investment banking. I completely did not know how technical these interviews are until it was too late (non-finance major) and so I am now suffering the consequences. Unfortunately, this is biting me in the butt. So far, through extensive networking, I have managed to land two first round interviews at MBBs and I got dinged after both phone screens. I believe it is because I am not solid on the technicals. Actually, not just not solid but flat out unprepared. While most people have been studying for months, I have been cramming Vault Guide to Finance Interviews and Breaking Into The Street 400 questions ever since I found out about how technical the interviews are. I'm really concerned that I'm not going to be able to master all of the technicals necessary and will unfortunately bomb out of all of the interviews. What am I going to do if I can't land a summer analyst internship? Should I be looking at MSF programs? I just feel like all hope is lost since I cannot for the life of me master these technicals in a quick enough time. It really stinks that I bombed those two phone screens too because I was lucky enough just to get them in the first place.
