Credit Suisse Executive Drama

Anyone within Credit Suisse can comment on the drama between the CEO, Tidjane Thiam, and WM Group Head, Iqbal Khan?

This guy bought a the next-door house to the CEO and had a bunch of intense neighbourly disputes with him https://www.ft.com/content/ba0d47be-e0fc-11e9-b112-9624ec9edc59

What was going on in this Iqbal Khan guy's head to buy the house directly next to his boss (the CEO of the company), and then bulldoze the purchased house, and have construction crew work on it at all hours of the night, and on weekends?

Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“Great session with Tim reviewing my 7 Stories and Tell me about yourself. Lots of actionable takeaways: cut the setup to the essentials, make my own role clear and focus crafting a story that was correct for me, and close every story with a concrete result. He also helped me check the set as a whole so each story covers a different competency, and stressed practising out loud to keep each one around two minutes. Got great feedback for the path forward and I now have a clear plan to narrow things down and get a strong draft.”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“It was great working with Javier today. We worked on both the behavior and technical part of the interview. I am really glad that Javier digged deep into my WSO equity research experience because I have always been worried about elaborating it. He gave me good feedback on really understanding my model and knowing the specific variables I used. Through the technical questions, I was also able to identify some weaknesses in accounting and valuations. This is my second mock interview and I feel that I have been making good progress!”
