“My mentoring session with Andre was extremely valuable and gave me the clarity and direction I needed at an important stage of my application journey. He was kind, approachable, and generous with his time, creating an atmosphere in which I felt comfortable sharing my experiences, asking questions, and discussing my doubts openly.
One of the most helpful aspects of our conversation was his guidance on how to organize and communicate my personal story. Andre helped me understand how to connect different experiences into a coherent narrative, identify the elements that matter most, and explain their significance more clearly. His perspective was fundamental in helping me see how to present my background with greater confidence, purpose, and authenticity.
I particularly appreciated his advice on what to avoid. He helped me recognize that including every detail does not necessarily make a story stronger, and that being selective can make a message much more effective. Our discussion gave me a clearer understanding of how to avoid unnecessary repetition, keep my narrative focused, and ensure that each part contributes something meaningful to the overall application.
Andre also provided valuable guidance on how to organize the application process itself. He helped me think more clearly about priorities, how to approach the different components, and how to make the work feel more manageable. Having a clearer structure has made a difference to my mindset: instead of seeing the applications as one overwhelming task, I now feel better equipped to approach them through specific, achievable steps.
Another important takeaway was his advice on how to use the coming days effectively. Our conversation helped me understand where to focus my energy, which tasks deserve immediate attention, and how to establish a realistic plan. I left the session with a stronger sense of direction and a better understanding of how to balance thoughtful preparation with consistent progress.
What made the experience positive was the combination of practical guidance and encouragement. Andre offered suggestions in a considerate and constructive way, helping me reflect on my choices while also making me feel supported. His kindness made it easier to engage honestly with the process and to see areas for improvement as opportunities to strengthen my applications.
Overall, this session was fundamental in helping me understand both what I want to communicate and how to move forward. I now have a clearer approach to telling my story, organizing my applications, avoiding common mistakes, and planning the next few days with intention.
I am very grateful for Andre’s support and for the care he brought to our conversation. His advice gave me useful tools, renewed confidence, and a more focused approach to the work ahead. I would highly recommend a session with him to anyone seeking thoughtful guidance, practical direction, and a supportive space to develop their application narrative. The session helped me turn uncertainty into a clearer plan, and I feel much more prepared to make the most of the time ahead and present my experiences in a meaningful and convincing way.”
Amen fellow retard!
What's up recently with all those threads reminding people to be grateful or some hippy shit like that
Because so much of WSO is depressing shit about the economy and possible layoffs, the markets, and bullshit rankings
A dose of hippy shit is nice sometimes
If you're getting depressed by reading words on a screen you're weak, simple as
HR trying to avoid people resigning without increasing salaries.
Homie is def on Adderall right now to work his entire Sunday. Dopamine at its finest.
I guess we really all live the same lives huh lmao
Don’t need Addy to be happy chief
What in the Shiti HR rep post is this?
Got my S&T SA offer today. Cheers to that bro
What’s the comp?
Right with industry average I think… $53/hr plus a chunk of change for housing. COL is much lower in Houston though.
Cheers!
I am fucking awesome. Thanks for this thread bc I don’t ever get to just scream that.

Depressed as fuck.
Have to make it another year to get another shitty job that’s just as stressful.
Turn up🤙
140 as a 22y/o isn't something to be depressed about. Ask your non banking peers what they made. You're doing well.
Agreed, be happy with the opportunity you have - you'll likely exit to PE in 4 months anyways if you haven't already done so. My MM paid fairly similar to that last year, and people were content with the pay.
Just wait till you see the Citi and BofA bonuses…same shit I’m sure.
