Panic attacks [IBD]

Banking has taken a toll on me mentally [being an introvert doesn't help either]. Anyone else in the same boat ? How did you cope ?

“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 7 Stories Review

“He was very thorough in his feedback and gave sample ways to answer each question so that I could better understand the framework, what points I should emphasize, and how to structure my ideas clearly and concisely. Rather than simply telling me what to change, he explained the reasoning behind his suggestions, which helped me understand how to approach similar questions on my own. He also took the time to really understand my background and the story I wanted to tell, and then helped me weave those experiences into my answer.”
