Investment Banking Full Resume Review

“Overall, working together with Isabelle has been very pleasant. She is clearly very knowledgeable, which shows off due to the quality of the feedback. She was critical and pointed out things I would not have spotted otherwise. Also, her feedback led me to think about my experience and skills more deeply, which is something that sparked the drive to start my TMAY stories draft. Furthermore, the communication was good. She responded in a timely manner and that made the resume review process progress smoothly. ”

Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“He was very knowledgeable, especially about the APAC region, and it showed throughout the conversation. He also answered several questions that went beyond the 7 stories, which demonstrated real depth and preparation. His answers were clear and specific, and I learned a lot from the session. I would happily recommend him. ”

Pegging off a previous comment I made

(Source: www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/job-search/summer-intern-no-return-offer-…)

what made recruiting very weird this year was that unlike previous years, my first internship in IB put me on a path for IB way more than it did for markets and AM (which was what I was trying to break into)
I did a very low-level IB role last summer and I thought I'd be able to use it to break into S&T but every bank that I applied to (where you could apply to up to 2-3 divisions) rejected me for S&T, AM, ER etc. and only took me on for IB even if my CV wasn't tailored to the role
So unlike in the past where you could move around and most divisions were p open (and I interviewed for a lot of them last year), I couldn't break into any of them this year which I found p unusual.
