“Isabelle is a great professional with strong, relevant experience. She went through the IB recruiting process herself, so her advice was concrete rather than generic. We aligned quickly on what I should be prioritising to break into investment banking, and she gave me clear next steps: target spring weeks, build an Excel tracker of key banks and companies, practise interviews regularly, and get the technicals and financials airtight. Above all, she stressed that consistent hard work is what makes the difference. I left the session with a clear plan and more confidence about the process.”

“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.”
