You will very rarely get exposed to the type of financial modeling that bankers complete: 3-statement models , DCF models , M&A models , LBO models , and so on. It would be smarter to get more relevant internships – anything involving deals, modeling, or individual investments – even if they’re at boutiques or other, smaller firms.

Internships at regional boutique banks. Yes, you can read guides , take courses , and watch YouTube videos , but you should also spend a few hours building simple DCF models or 3-statement models to learn the key concepts. Internships at local venture capital or private equity firms. Corporate finance roles at nearby companies.

Many people would say that the elite boutiques – specifically, Moelis and Rothschild – are the top banks in the region based on deal activity, business model, and overall experience. Among the other banks, HSBC usually makes a strong showing, most middle-market banks are barely present, and the other elite boutiques (Evercore, Lazard, etc.)

Financial Modeling: Like private equity, 3-statement models are common, as are valuations and DCF models , but LBO models are less common since not all deals use debt. Also, you can get in more easily from a middle-market or boutique bank.

Valuation , such as the different multiples used for mining companies and the NAV model in place of the DCF (see below). To value it, we build a standard DCF based on production volumes, CapEx to drive capacity, and assumed steel prices: The valuation multiples are also standard (TEV / Revenue, TEV / EBITDA, and P / E).

You’ll also have to spend time learning/reviewing the technical questions, as the day-to-day work in ECM and DCM is far removed from subjects like Equity Value vs. Enterprise Value or a DCF model. If it’s a 5-person regional boutique , take the BB capital markets offer. Should You Accept a Capital Markets Internship or Job Offer?
