Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“John is very kind and pleasant to talk with. He makes the student feel very at ease and encourages them to ask questions and to not hesitate if there is anything else he can help with, even if it is not directly related to the purpose of the scheduled session. He is very knowledgeable, communicates very well, gives clear actionable takeaways, and is very easy to schedule. ”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Julius has continued to go above and beyond each time I have a session with him. I have had 20+ sessions since joining the Academy and he is always willing to push your knowledge, put you in situation where you feel pressure and provides a calmness and will help you think through the situation. Like for today's mock he had built out a modeling test (LBO), something I had never done before, he pushes your knowledge while working through it and then provides great explanations on anything you may have missed at the end. I feel like he's provided me with the most valuable feedback and continues to will help anyone who is hungry to learn and expand their knowledge. Truley a great mentor!”

I don't know
the impending war between bankers and traders. Perhaps not as bad as GS, but there will be blood.

UFOinsider1. I don't know 2. the impending war between bankers and traders. Perhaps not as bad as GS, but there will be blood.

Care to elaborate on how the war will affect JPM? Curious to hear your thoughts.

As for me, I don't think JPM has any firm-specific risks... the major risks are those it faces by virtue of being a major player in the financial services industry. Regulatory issues, financial crisis, interest rates, etc etc are the major risks I see.

Wall Street leaders now understand that they made a mistake, one born of their innocent and trusting nature. They trusted ordinary Americans to behave more responsibly than they themselves ever would, and these ordinary Americans betrayed their trust.

It's just how I see it playing out. It's like a gang / mob turf war: every generation or so they butt heads and we're overdue across the BB's. It's a cultural thing, I don't get it, but that's what it looks like. The traders took over a few decades back, and they have consistently pushed the envelope in every way. Now it's the bankers turn to rise up through the ranks and run things. This is a top end management issue, but affects the entire culture. I give it a year or two before it becomes widely discussed.

Go on the company's website, read their latest corporate report and some of their presentations. Read the manager's letter to investors. It will give you some clue for your answer. Take a look at their latest balance sheet and compare them to the previous year. Read the footnote that accompany the balance sheet and the prospectus.
