More than 6k at this point. And yes, supposedly there is a refund if you do everything he tells you and you still don’t get one, but I’d imagine he could just claim “oh you didn’t put the full effort into x, y, z thing like I instructed” and scum you. Also, any SA offer doesn’t mean a guaranteed top offer, so you could be out 7-8k for a LMM shop

 

The answer is no. I don't really care if the course was 6k or 20k, if it was worth it I would say yes, but it really is just an MLM scheme. Honest advice is buy the Peak Framework course (300 I think) to learn the material, use IB Vine (free) for technical question preparation, and get your friends to mock you. This isn't like uni counselling, there is very little specialized expertise required to navigate recruiting and prepare for interviews that can't be acquired online.

 

I’m in it. It’s great for those who are early to the game. Signing up now is a waste imo. Keep grinding networking and keep creating opportunities.

Good luck with recruitment.
