Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“My October 29 session with Arnau was one of the most practical mentoring conversations I've had at Wall Street Oasis. He helped me turn my mixed background in corporate finance, treasury, reporting, and hotel project management into a clear plan for investment banking. His strategy advice was direct: go after IB first, with PE second, and apply broadly. He explained the reasoning, which made the plan easy to follow. His resume feedback was detailed and immediately useful. He showed me how to describe my Lucky Strike work in transaction-focused language, highlight how selective my VCU investment portfolio was, spell out acronyms, and keep the formatting consistent. I've already made most of these changes. He also encouraged me to build a target-firm tracker, start warm outreach, update my LinkedIn, and prepare honest, confident answers about my role being eliminated in a restructuring. Arnau was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in my success. I left with a concrete action plan and more confidence, and I'd strongly recommend him to any WSO student.”
