Investment Banking Mock Coffee Chat

“Rachel was very pleasant to speak with. Super informative and gave me a lot of recruiting tips. She discussed her different pathways that she has taken as well as her recommendations on how to approach those pathways as a student. She also shared a lot of personal improvement tips such as being adaptable to be successful long term. Her international perspective was unique to hear from. The variety of experiences she has had as both an analyst and leading a team all across the world was great to learn from.”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“I had an excellent experience during the investment banking mock interview. The interviewer demonstrated a high level of professionalism, extensive industry knowledge, and a genuine commitment to helping me improve. The interview was very well structured, with challenging and relevant questions that closely reflected the expectations of a real investment banking recruitment process. I particularly appreciated the quality of the feedback, which was detailed, constructive, and tailored to my performance. The interviewer not only highlighted areas for improvement but also provided practical, actionable recommendations on how to strengthen my answers, structure my reasoning, and communicate more effectively. Overall, it was an extremely valuable learning experience that has significantly contributed to my preparation and confidence for upcoming interviews. I would highly recommend this interviewer to anyone preparing for investment banking recruitment.”
