Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“I had an excellent session with the mentor. I particularly appreciated how structured and thoughtful the discussion was, as we focused on developing my answer to "Why Investment Banking?" and building my seven personal stories for behavioural interviews. The mentor took the time to understand my background, experiences, interests, and career motivations rather than simply providing generic advice. What I appreciated most was how he challenged me to think more deeply about my experiences and identify the underlying lessons, skills, and motivations that I could communicate during interviews. He also helped me think about how to connect my personal experiences with my interest in investment banking in a way that feels genuine and compelling. I left the session with much more clarity on how to approach both my story and behavioural interview preparation. It was an incredibly valuable session, and I would highly recommend this mentor to anyone looking for guidance on their investment banking recruiting journey.”

Investment Banking Mock Coffee Chat

“I had a lot of questions, and Tim was able to give answers. From doubts about dress code, appearance, and behavior, to planning next steps for my studies and finding an internship, he had it covered. Our chats have been productive, educational, and enjoyable. We connect well across several topics, share similar perspectives, and generally just get along. I will definitely keep seeking his guidance and advice and keep connecting more personally. Lastly, Tim extended the session for an extra 20 minutes. I appreciate that; he did not have to.”
