Are there any Investment Banking guys from South Africa who transferred to UK IB? Can I have some insights on how you approached the transition and the comp?

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“Susan was very effective and efficient in running through my LinkedIn and giving me specific advice on what to change — and even went through some of the changes live with me. She also begun the meeting by checking in with me about any of my general recruiting updates since we have met before, which was really helpful to talk through!”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“We scheduled a behavioural interview, and he asked questions specific to the role I was applying for, which made it feel like the real thing. His feedback was super useful, not only on my answers but also on how I structure them. He pointed out some verbal tics I’d never even thought about, which I’ll now be working on. He also commented on one of my technical answers, which really helped, and ran through the types of people who sit on these desks and how to appeal to them. Would highly recommend.”
