Got CIE for this year recruiting but haven’t had any interviews yet. The people that mock me who are incoming EB/BB analysts say they were asked similar questions during their interviews from what they recall.
nice try marketing
I used Capital Interview Experts for my last year SA interviews and signed an EB (EVR/PJT/MOE) – can back them. Obviously you still need to network and prepare your behaviorals but in my opinion they are the best resource for technicals
Hey do you mind PMing me. Thanks
It is a complete scam. 75 dollars for a 20 page PDF. I'd highly recommend not wasting your money.

Stop shilling this bullshit everywhere. It’s literally ibvine copy pasted lmfao
I actually disagree with the above comment. The only reason I got my MS offer was because of their questions - bought their guides last year and still got an update this Sunday which was 40+ pages which is like 30 to 50 questions per firm. Personally I think that's value considering it's life time access and actual challenging interview questions vs other platforms where you lose access once you unsub and have filler "walk me through a dcf" type questions.
Since it's almost SA recruiting time I'll add my two cents:
I used Capital Interview Experts guides ($147) and also Peak Frame works guides ($297). For IB recruiting, CIE > Peak.
CIE has multiple options, but I specifically got the Ultimate Analyst Prep which was 2 guides: Insider Edge which was 50+ pages and 600+ questions, and Core Mastery which was 10 topics, 30+ pages, and 300+ questions.
For CIE, I interviewed at almost every EB (EVR/Q/CVP/PJT/MOE) and was asked questions that were either word-for-word or slight variations (sometimes just different numbers) of what was in the CIE guides. Their Core Mastery guide also did a great job actually explaining the concepts, not just giving memorization material.
For the Peak IB course, I didn’t find it particularly useful for IB interviews. The Excel case studies were good, but you’re not going to be asked to model in a SA or even A1 New Grad interview. I think Peak makes more sense later on, especially when recruiting for PE where modeling is tested.
Don't know what the above comment was talking about since the CIE Ultimate guide I got was Insider (50+ pages) + Core Mastery (30+ pages).
Bottom line: CIE is best for conceptual understanding and real IB interview questions, while Peak is better once you’re already in IB and thinking about transitioning to PE.
