Investment Banking Mock Coffee Chat

“I had a great conversation with Jorge and genuinely appreciated his willingness to share his experience and insights. His career journey, from an engineering background into investment banking and subsequently investing, was particularly interesting and highly relevant to my own career aspirations. He provided thoughtful perspectives on breaking into investment banking in London, navigating the transition from the sell-side to the buy-side, and developing the skills and judgement required to become a successful investor. I particularly valued his emphasis on the importance of understanding the industries and businesses behind financial transactions: strong industry knowledge is essential not only to assess companies and investment opportunities more effectively, but also to become a more well-rounded and insightful finance professional. I also appreciated the openness of his answers, which reflected his own professional experience. The conversation was helpful and engaging.”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Very comprehensive session. We worked through a paper LBO and I got useful tips on how to build the debt schedule. Mentor's camera didn’t work because of a technical issue, but that didn’t affect the quality of the session at all, and I felt I advanced a lot. It was straight to the point: she moved from question to question without wasting any time, and finished with direct feedback. The follow-up note was clear and specific, with two priorities (IB vs PE and the LBO walk) and a plan for the next session. Honestly one of the best sessions I’ve had.”

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some reviews of BB offices:

Goldman Sachs (GS): Solid offices, but nothing particularly special.
Morgan Stanley (MS): Cool building, but the actual offices feel a bit stingy or antiquated.
Citi: Their new offices are described as gorgeous, featuring an outdoor sky terrace halfway up and corner meeting rooms with Hudson River views on every floor. Located in Tribeca, which is considered much nicer than Midtown.
Deutsche Bank (DB): Offices have an old-school vibe, which some find cool in a retro sense. The building is actually on Wall Street, but opinions on whether they are "nice" vary.
Barclays: Offices are new and nice, with a cool building.
UBS: Solid offices, but nothing extraordinary.
JPMorgan (JPM): Nice offices, often compared favorably to Barclays.
RBC: Surprisingly nice offices, comparable to Citi.
Bank of America (BofA) / Credit Suisse (CS): No specific reviews available, but they were not visited by the contributors.

If you're heading to a BB, it sounds like you'll likely have a great environment to work in, especially if you're at one of the newer or recently renovated offices!

gs was honestly underwhelming for the amount of prestige and money they have

bofa was underwhelming also, granted location is insane and also only saw one floor lmao

db was great, in front of central park, office had sunlight coming in and up to date

ms was also really new, even the bathrooms were so very nice
