Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“Andre's strong background makes him a very motivating mentor for candidates. He is intellectual and kind, and he used our time efficiently. His feedback was clear, honest and realistic, which I value a lot. He does not just tell people what they want to hear; he pushes them to succeed. He helped me structure my 7 stories and made the whole process much easier. Without Andre, I would not have gotten my 7 stories right. I will definitely work with him again, and I am looking forward to our next meeting.”

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“Johnathan was really good at checking out my Linkedin and making surfing there were not many issues with it. He seemed to know his stuff very well and he was curious about all the posts that I had liked and he had different tactics to make sure that my linkedin could stand out from the rest and make it very competitive for my 2028 internship. The only criteria I had was minimal and it was that he was a few minutes late but that is not a big deal, I know he is a busy guy but overall he was great.”

Your time would honestly be better spent networking and not reading about the IB industry. Seriously, if you've read the Rosenbaum book and an interview guide, you're good to go. Maybe read Leveraged Sellout for kicks, but if you're trying to add to your professional skillset, you're better off reading leadership books or well-written fiction (Google "fiction for GMAT" for some books that will help better your English, even if you're a native speaker).
