From Audit Intern to IB Intern

Hey Guys

I am currently working as an Audit Intern at a Big Four in Zurich, Switzerland, but my ultimate goal is it to get into IB. I already received several rejections from BB and Boutiques. I know it's super important to network and I already had one interview due to my network. But it still hasn't paid off. Is there any advice how to improve my chances or to be even more precise, any company or industry I should join to get one step further towards IB?

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“I wanted to share some feedback on my sessions with Andre. Andre has deep knowledge of investment banking, and he approaches every topic very strategically. His guidance while I was preparing my interview stories was especially valuable. One thing that stood out was that even a week after our previous session, Andre remembered me and everything I had shared about my background and goals. That meant a lot to me and made our sessions much more productive. He is also very direct. He tells me clearly what works and what doesn’t, which is exactly the kind of feedback I need. At the same time, he is funny and witty, so working with him is a lot of fun. Our sessions almost always run longer than scheduled, because Andre makes sure we cover everything properly before we wrap up. He is very dedicated and very patient, and I really appreciate the time and effort he puts in. I leave every session with Andre feeling clearer and more confident about my preparation. Thank you, Andre.”
