They tossed in this Easter egg at the very end and I need an explanation ASAP:

Strolling around Manhattan, it’s easy to find signs of Wall Street’s intense treatment of trainees. A young man was seen doing push-ups on Park Avenue’s sidewalk Thursday, sweating through his dress clothes with the sun overhead. Asked what was happening, he said he was being punished by his boss for screwing up a pitch deck.

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Great guy, kind and easy to interact with. To be honest, I did have a hard time understanding his accent for the first 5 minutes but I was able to quickly pick it up after that so my session was not affected. He was great at simulating an actual interview environment and asked great question tailored to me in real time. He was also very very very helpful with the actionable steps that he outlined during the last 5 minutes of our call. I am currently in the process of booking another session with him to make sure my technicals are absolutely bulletproof.”

Investment Banking Full Resume Review

“Jeppe was a great reviewer to work with. He took the time to understand my background properly before making any changes, asked thoughtful questions, and helped me present my experience far more clearly and convincingly. He was honest and practical in his feedback, responded quickly, and kept the process moving smoothly from start to finish. He also shared useful perspective on the job market and where to focus next. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to strengthen their CV. Also very responsive.”
