“Working with Adam was an absolute pleasure. I was paired with him to prepare for a Renewable Energy Project Finance modelling test. He admitted that he was quite rusty in the space and did not know if he could provide significant value. However, this turned into the best WSO Mentor Session I've had by far. Adam was extremely helpful, kind and uplifting. He was able to find a previous, real model he had worked on, and we went through it together. It was incredibly helpful to have seen a real Project Finance model. He dove through it line-by-line - inputs, assumptions, debt financing, etc. We also started the call from a very high-level, discussing Revenues, Sources & Uses of Cash and Debt Financing in Project Finance. Overall, the call felt more like a conversation with an incredibly-helpful peer who was cheering me on. He also provided actionable takeaways following the call, and sent over additional resources to help me prepare. I will absolutely be sure to work with Adam again in the future!”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“The mock interview was extremely useful and gave me a much clearer understanding of the areas I need to improve before upcoming interviews. I particularly appreciated how specific and constructive the feedback was, both on the technical questions and on the way I structured my behavioral answers. The interviewer created a realistic and challenging environment, which made the session especially valuable. I also found the comments on how to make my answers more concise, structured and convincing very helpful. Overall, it was a great opportunity to identify weaknesses, gain confidence, and understand how to approach future interviews more effectively.”

Don’t commute that way any more but used to for a few years when it was just “Thames Clipper”. To get between Canary Wharf and London Bridge it is epic, especially in Summer when you can sit outside and enjoy the sun. It’s also immune from tube strike and you get queue jump with a season ticket whilst the tubers are lining up for an hour trying to get a boat.

CW/LB was about 12 minutes from memory - it gets slower as you go more central so worth doing some test runs.

Haven't used it for work commute but generally seems to be slightly slower than the tube (agree it gets even slower after LB) and almost twice the price, not worth it imo for daily commute.
