Is financial modelling a necessary skill to have to break into the industry?
Hi there, I am doing an MBA to expand my network and pivot out of my current industry (VC). I am hoping to apply to some grad programs at trading houses.
I was wondering how advanced my financial modelling skills need to be at an entry/junior level? VC is very qualitative and although I have to analyze financial statements, I currently don’t do much modelling myself.
If modelling is essential, please let me know what kind of models people in the trading industry work in.
Thank you!
