[QUOTE="ashwright, post: 225868, member: 29878"] Hi [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER], [USER=42112]@Abbie Whitlock[/USER] and the team, Hope you're doing well! Do you guys have any advice for preparing for an AC in a short space of time? I received my first AC invite ever (A&O Shearman) and I don't have much time to prepare. I never thought that I would reach this stage (years of rejection have made me uber-cautious!), so I would greatly appreciate any firm-specific and/or general guidance. Whilst I read/listen to the standard commercial awareness podcasts, my technical knowledge (e.g., how to calculate EBITDA, company value, market cap) is lacking. Any advice on this in particular would be especially appreciated. On a separate note, I would also appreciate any guidance on building confidence. I am not sure whether I can change how I feel inside in just a few days, but I would appreciate any advice at least on [I]appearing[/I] confident to others (even if just for a couple of hours). Thank you :) [/QUOTE]
