The job changed.
The interviews didn't.

AI is transforming what junior bankers do every day. But the skills you need to break in — and to do the job well — haven't gone away. They've become more important.

AI builds models in seconds

But your MD still expects you to walk through every assumption. If you can't explain the WACC, the exit multiple, or why the sensitivity table breaks — the AI didn't help you.

Interviews still test fundamentals

Walk me through a DCF. What happens to the EV bridge when debt increases? How does depreciation flow through the statements? These questions aren't going anywhere.

Someone has to check the AI's work

The junior analyst role isn't disappearing — it's evolving into the person who orchestrates AI tools and catches their mistakes. That requires deeper understanding, not less.

You need the technical foundation — not to do the work manually, but to direct it, verify it, and own the output.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

13 focused modules covering every technical concept tested in IB interviews and used on the job. Practical understanding, not memorization.
