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.”

best? they all are back office so it should really depend on which you like or get along with...

they are all different you cant compare apples and oranges

but i would say that the trade support leads to a shot at being a trader if you are lucky. I heard of some cases.
