How to Make IB Technicals Stick [8/11/2026] (Recording)

Many candidates spend hours reading technical guides but struggle to answer questions when the wording changes or the pressure increases. The problem is often not effort. It is the way they are studying. In this session, we'll cover how to begin preparing for investment banking technical interviews in a way that builds real understanding and recall. We'll discuss what to study first, how the major topics fit together, and how to move from passively reading answers to delivering them clearly out loud. You'll leave with a practical technical-preparation system that you can continue using throughout recruiting. You'll learn how to: - Study technical concepts in the right order - Build a foundation in accounting, valuation, M&A, and LBOs - Replace passive memorization with active recall - Practice answering questions clearly and under pressure - Diagnose gaps instead of repeatedly rereading guides - Create a realistic technical study plan for recruiting

Everyone tells you product sense matters. Almost no one tells you how to actually build it.

You'll learn the frameworks experienced PMs use to evaluate products, how to spot the gap between a good answer and a great one in a product sense interview, and the daily habits that build real intuition over time. This isn't a list of tips. It's a working session on the skill that decides whether you get the offer.
