To Merrill bankers:

Can you tell me what Thain is doing nowadays? Is he still at his job, working hard, or has he developed a nice case of senioritis since BofA had agreed to acquire the firm? Any idea where he'll head next if he leaves Merrill following the merger?

Feel free to PM...

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“I had a really good experience with Julius during my LinkedIn review. Julius gave me specific feedback on what I could improve and explained why certain changes would make my profile stronger. I appreciated that the advice was straightforward and easy to apply instead of general suggestions. I also felt comfortable asking questions throughout the process. The feedback covered things I hadn't considered before which made the review especially useful. I would definitely recommend working with Julius!”

Investment Banking Mock Coffee Chat

“Had a brilliant session with Alessandro, gaining deep insight into his career from the start to his current role at JB. We discussed exams to build a strong technical foundation alongside on-the-job learning and finding the right environment. We also explored parallels between private banking and IB, work-life balance, and AI's growing role, specifically how junior analysts need to extract information and understand emerging topics. We have mentioned keeping in touch, and if any further questions arise to reach out.”
