“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.”
Are you brain dead?
in london u sign GS and pray HR doesnt find out who you are for asking this q
GS and don't look back
you are only asking this about PJT because everyone on this forum has been straight up glazing them for about 2 years (most of them Americans - so it doesn't apply to London)
If you never touched this website you would sign GS and not even consider PJT
This is a US centric forum. GS is clearly better than PJT in London unless you want to do rx
This is how I realize how people on this forum are brainwashed.
GS obviously the biggest brand, no matter which exit ratio per promotion or any other made up stats brainroted finance bros are calculating here on a weekly basis, but instead of asking advice to random strangers on the Internet, just ask yourself for once in your lfe : what would I genuinely like to do? Which people where the most likeable during ACs?
You got two great offers so no doubt this kind of thinking is possible for you.
If I don't see you with me at GS this summer, you will need to question your life choices...
In London take GS but in America GS is really not very good anymore.
I got an MS for speaking the truth. GS does not get the best kids bc of all the BS they do in American recruiting. They do super early targeted DEI hiring or they do super late recruiting (b/c they want the “passionate” kids). On the DEI side, GS does get the best minority kids from Harvard type schools (like upper middle class Nigerian-American with doctor / engineer / corporate parents). But then they also get a mixed bag of rich white girls, some of them are good some aren’t. And then they also get a lot of the Nepo kids who are also a mixed bag. So just on that, 30% of the analyst class is going to be ppl who just aren’t as good analysts but might one day be great partners. If you don’t care about being a career banker, there’s no pt working at GS.
The boutiques do DEI stuff too but to a lesser extent. Also the boutiques know how much leverage they get out of Hardo analysts whereas GS makes 1Y Asso work like analysts so there is a bigger pool of people actually doing things.
EMEA - GS is the better option, US - PJT hands down, IMO better regarded in finance circles
You don't say no to GS.
lmao are you Asian? They are the only ones obsessed with "brand recognition".
If you get a GS TMT, then yeah, I can see a point in going there vs a CVP, EVR, PJT. Otherwise not sure it's worth it that much
