Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Jorge was an excellent interviewer who asked really insightful Qs and helped me pressure test my answers whilst asking me more non-typical questions that helped me think about the move on a deeper level. Was also clear in the technicals being the sticking point and that I should pivot focus to this rather than over practiciging technicals.”
