Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“Sean was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the fundamental research process for 99 Speedmart. He helped me think more critically about the business, identify key drivers, and connect my research to a clear investment thesis. His insights on constructing a variant view were especially valuable, helping me understand how to challenge consensus assumptions and develop a differentiated perspective. I left the session with a clearer framework and greater confidence in preparing my stock pitch.”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“My mentor was very helpful because he took the time to understand what I wanted to improve on instead of giving me generic advice. He explained concepts clearly and was always willing to answer my questions, even when I needed something explained more than once. I also appreciated that he gave specific feedback on what I was doing well and what I could improve, which made each session feel productive. He was easy to talk to and created an environment where I felt comfortable asking questions. I especially liked hearing about his own experiences because they gave me a better understanding of what to expect and how I could prepare. Overall, I learned a lot from our conversations and felt that his advice was practical and relevant to my goals.”

I would take JPM HC / M&A over an average GS classic group but any of those groups should be more than enough to get you any PE interview
