Both for NY. Not sure on how to go about these offers. Any advice will be appreciated. My end goal is to lateral to a reputable MM/BB.

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“My mentor was extremely useful in improving my LinkedIn profile. They provided thoughtful, practical feedback on how to highlight my experience, communicate my strengths, and present myself more professionally. I appreciated their attention to detail and willingness to explain the reasoning behind each suggestion. Their guidance made the process straightforward and gave me greater confidence in my profile. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to strengthen their professional presence.”

Investment Banking Full Resume Review

“Jeppe was a great reviewer to work with. He took the time to understand my background properly before making any changes, asked thoughtful questions, and helped me present my experience far more clearly and convincingly. He was honest and practical in his feedback, responded quickly, and kept the process moving smoothly from start to finish. He also shared useful perspective on the job market and where to focus next. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to strengthen their CV. Also very responsive.”
