Red Tape?

Hey y’all, I got a question. Specifically geared towards NYC BB IB, how do you guys navigate through the red tape, workplace politics, and bureaucracy? Any tips to protect myself would be helpful, thanks!

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“My mentor was very helpful, and I appreciated how efficiently she moved through my review. She gave me a great deal of immediate, practical help, so I could apply her suggestions right away. She also resolved my concern about being seen as too bold on LinkedIn. Her guidance gave me confidence in how I present myself and reach out to professionals in my field. Her feedback was clear and specific, and her pace kept the session productive from start to finish. I left with a stronger understanding of how to approach LinkedIn and networking. I recommend her to any student who wants direct, efficient feedback.”

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“Daniel really took his time to help me. Our session ran well past the scheduled time, and he went through every part of my resume in detail. He didn't just fix what was there; he also showed me how to think about it going forward, so I can keep improving it on my own as my experience grows. He was diligent, careful and very patient with all my questions, and at the same time kind and easy to talk to. It was clear why he has been so successful, and he shared what he knows openly. Honestly, if I hadn't met with Daniel, I think I would have missed out on a lot of opportunities down the line. He is an amazing mentor and I'm grateful for the time he put in.”
