Which bank was Margin Call about

Great acting and a great movie overall. Was it Goldman the first to sell all their shit off the books? I was curious as I was watching a couple scenes from the movie.

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“Went into the meeting choosing slightly the wrong option selected. The purpose because I already have a career roadmap kind of laid out but was looking for more of a focus on the next steps for recruiting and next few weeks but Tim had no problem with it made sure to emphasize the reason he was there was to help me. Even though I had lot of general questions that were we sort of ambiguous to answer he gave me clear direction with each question based on his experience and made sure to not discourage me from anything.”

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“Jean Philippe completely reshaped how I present my career journey. During our resume review, we focused intensely on building a cohesive narrative that would help me break into investment banking. In my skills section, John Philip flagged financial techniques that needed urgent work, specifically highlighting financial modelling as an area I must strengthen. Moving to my professional experience under Masterclass Cricket, he pushed me to move past generic duties and instead inject tangible outcomes that prove my commercial value. To bridge my current experience with banking, we mapped out future financial paths—like pursuing an equity research internship—to solidify that core section of my CV. Ultimately, our discussion wasn't just about tweaking bullet points; it was about painting a consistent, powerful image across my business, sports, and education to prove I am ready for the industry.”
