Anyone have any insight into what the difference between these two roles is? What would be viewed more favorably for a transition into traditional IB? Thanks in advance.

Investment Banking Mock Coffee Chat

“Rachel was very pleasant to speak with. Super informative and gave me a lot of recruiting tips. She discussed her different pathways that she has taken as well as her recommendations on how to approach those pathways as a student. She also shared a lot of personal improvement tips such as being adaptable to be successful long term. Her international perspective was unique to hear from. The variety of experiences she has had as both an analyst and leading a team all across the world was great to learn from.”

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“Julian was absolutely wonderful! Although the session focused on reviewing my LinkedIn profile, he also took the time to offer thoughtful advice on my recruiting strategy and interview preparation. We spent over the allotted time and he didn't seem to mind. His candid perspective on how to tell my story, prepare for technical questions, and stay open-minded about banking groups was especially valuable. I left the conversation feeling energized, encouraged, and more confident about the road ahead. Thank you for connecting us!”
