“he is really helpful by telling me what way should I read market news, and I think overall is good. However, I'd wish him can go over a market news with me, but he didn't do that. Overall, it's fine and helpful and learning market news is crucial for me, and I think our academy can put this as a course for people to learn how should we read and how can we articulate that, pitch that during an interview. This should be composed as an offcial course to learn, so I think we can really do that to improve.”

“Brandon is an extremely insightful mentor. He has been very honest and transparent with all of my questions and concern, whether that was just about general aspects of banking and sales and trading, behavioral interviews, and technical aspects of the interview process - and following up the information he would provide or inform you were to take a deeper dive into the info. Overall a very positive mentor and I would definitely recommend him moving forward and will most definitely be booking more sessions with him.”

no deal experience. I am coming from a non-IB background. they basically said they will ask more about why you model and how the models work, vs “walk me through..”
