From GS Internship to MS Offer: The Power of Mock Interviews
Monkeys,
Wanted to drop a line about my recent roller-coaster in the finance world. After grinding for months, diving deep into prep, and facing the brutal reality of interviews, I've finally clinched an offer from Morgan Stanley. A huge shoutout to Meetapro's mock interviews for playing a pivotal role in this win.
Flashback to this summer: I was grinding away as an intern at GS. The experience? Unreal. The culture, the deals, the late nights – it was everything I'd imagined and more. But here's the twist: I didn't bag a return offer. I remember scrolling through WSO and coming across several posts about fellow monkeys who had a killer summer but still didn't get the return. Hit me right in the feels. But instead of sulking, it fueled my fire.
Came across another WSO thread where someone was seeking advice on interview prep. The struggle of nailing those on-the-spot responses? Relatable. That gut-punch realization after a HireVue that you're not as polished as you thought? Been there. While many suggested mock interviews with buddies or mentors, I was kinda stranded without those resources.
Enter Meetapro. Got a tip from an IB VP buddy about it and decided to give it a shot. Game. Changer. The platform's mock interviews were next level. They not only sharpened my skills but also gave me the feedback and confidence boost I desperately needed. Those mock sessions? They played a huge role in my MS offer.
To all my fellow monkeys out there wrestling with the decision of accepting an offer, or feeling the sting of not getting a return despite top-tier reviews: Remember, it's not just about the brand or the prestige. It's about grit, adaptability, and the relentless chase of your dreams. Keep grinding
Stop calling attention to yourself. As a GS alum, you weren't good enough for GS. No one cares you got an offer at MS.
What was your explanation for not getting the return during the interview?
Weak on building connections. I thought I did well.
