“I had a very positive experience with my mentor and I am truly grateful for the time, support, and guidance they provided throughout our sessions. From the very beginning, my mentor was extremely kind, approachable, and available, which made it easy to communicate openly, ask questions, and discuss both my goals and uncertainties about the next steps in my career.
One of the most valuable parts of the mentoring experience was the work we did together on my LinkedIn profile. We essentially rebuilt and improved it from scratch, carefully going through my previous experiences, skills, and achievements and discussing how to present them in a clearer and more effective way. My mentor helped me understand how important it is to have a strong and well-structured LinkedIn profile and how to use it to communicate my strengths, professional interests, and career goals. The feedback and practical suggestions I received were extremely useful, and I now feel much more confident about how I present myself professionally online.
Beyond my LinkedIn profile, I particularly appreciated the practical tips and honest advice my mentor shared with me about how to approach the next steps in my career. The guidance was not limited to improving my online presence, but also helped me think more strategically about where I want to go and how I can get there. I received valuable suggestions on how to position myself, what aspects of my profile to focus on, and how to approach future opportunities more effectively.
Another aspect I appreciated was my mentor’s willingness to listen and adapt the conversations to my specific needs. I never felt that the sessions were generic or simply followed a predefined structure. Instead, the discussions were tailored to my situation, which made the advice much more relevant and actionable. My mentor was patient when explaining things, encouraging when I had doubts, and constructive when pointing out areas where I could improve.
Overall, this mentoring experience gave me both practical tools and greater confidence in taking the next steps in my professional journey. I came away with a significantly improved LinkedIn profile, a clearer understanding of how to communicate my experience and strengths, and a better idea of how to approach my future career development.
I would definitely recommend this mentor to anyone looking for someone who is supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping others grow. Their kindness, availability, and practical approach made the experience extremely valuable, and I am very grateful for all the time and effort they dedicated to helping me.”
Depends on where they interned. If 1 IB = BB, then 1 IB is better by far. If all 3 IBs are boutiques, the 3.9 would probably have a slight edge thanks to a higher GPA. But at this point, both profiles are strong on paper. Networking is going to be the main differentiator
probably 3.1 GPA with 5 IB internships -
jokes aside, once you reach the GPA cutoff, interviewers won't care as much about your GPA. a likable, motivated 3.7 GPA with no IB internships will fare better than a 3.9 hardass who has no chill.
Assuming neither was at BB IB, would look at other things like networking and extracurriculars.
Will most likely depend on fit. When both are qualified really just comes down to fit and how the convo flowed. I feel bad sometimes when we cut kids who had good backgrounds and did well in the interview but there are only so many spots. When there's "ties" we usually just go off fit and who we enjoyed talking to the most. Also might help if x candidate networked with like 4 people at the bank and maybe the other one just dropped in resume to OCR resume drop or something like that
Congrats Brother, You've Fu*kin Lost It.
Please stay lucid.
