I am an extremely privileged rising sophomore. I was wondering how can I maximize my chances of getting an IB offer. Frankly, an Investment Banking salary would be negligible for my family.
Can receiving an offer be made easier with the purchase of certain services or guides? I’m willing to work hard, but was wondering how I could best leverage my privilege.

Surely the $140k base at FT partners will be meaningful to your family finances!?
Unfortunately my parents are actually more against me going into IB than for it… because of the low salary.
Put in the work studying technicals and networking like the rest of us. There's no way around this.
Surely there has to, I’ve seen some mentoring services… seem sus though
😭😭
The fact people like this exist is real is crazy to me. You have to be a troll surely.
Literally not joking, help
You wanna buy my SA offer??
I'm sure if you paid people here they'd maybe help
Cant buy your way into IB, as you probably did for uni. "The Wanker Hall", was it?
Not looking to buy my way in, just inquiring about whether there are any ways to leverage my existing resources, you would do the same.
I’m a first-gen student and didn’t receive any help getting into college, and ended up at a semi target. Thus is why I want to find ways to make myself a better candidate for IB.
Thank you for your time
Leverage you network. If you're that privileged, surely you got connections you can reach out to?
If you don't need the money find something more worthwhile to do with your life.
Wanting to be successful is a goal of mine. And I believe that IB is a great starting point.

Use the extreme privilege to buy computer and use search bar
Ur mom
Are you referring to services such as WSMM?? Those mentoring programs are not “sus” programs that magically boosts your chances of breaking into IB. Its merely a coaching service. You said it yourself, its like getting a SAT tutor lol Its rlly not that different from getting help from cracked upperclassmen.
I have heard about some real sus chinese services that will sell you referrals?? Not sure if you are talking about that but I would imagine it is extremely difficult to work with them if your not chinese
Try checking one of the diversity boxes.
