Hi guys,
I was wandering if I could get some honest feedback on my resume. For context, I am targeting SA IBD roles in LDN for 2026.
Thanks in advance

peaky blinders ain't an interest lol
You have to change sone things up in the interests section.
agreed. what would u say are good interests to put in there. As in the format of the interests without making it seem cringe.
anything else u think i should change
You buffed up your experiences too much. Would be nice if you had like 3/4 IB internships and a few bullet points for each… not an essay because that shows you can’t grow or learn.
i know they seem buffed up but they were actually all things i did and can speak to. i do have other internships i can put in there but i would say this experience was the most substantial. also, it would be weird if i had the same number of bps for an internship that lasted 3 months as one that lasted about a year. do u think its inaccurate to write intern then given ive been there for a year? I also took the year out so thats kinda why ive gotten up to so much in the IB internship
Are you guys really building DCFs and other valuations for transaction work during your internships or is it some kind of exaggeration to sprinkle up your resume?
i actually did build DCFs during the internship. obvs overseen and vetted by seniors but built nevertheless.
dawg why you mad ash LMAOOO, like everyone embellishes on their resumes. just assume the best mane
Totally disagree with the interests comments - if you fr enjoy that stuff then keep it that’s the one part of the resume that can show some personality
i honestly agree with the comments on the interests, they do come off as a bit cringe tbh
Either get rid of, or get new interests
agreed. anything else u think i should change?
"Batman" lmao
Hahaha ik. Honestly rlly struggling with the interests section as its a balance of not being cringe and not boring
anything else u think i should change on the resume
Don't you have any actual hobbies? Three out of four of your interests are essentially passive. I'd also tone down the obvious exaggerations in your transaction experience (as if interns can even have transaction experience in the proper sense - if you're not included in the WPL as an official member of the deal team, I wouldn't count it). People will see through it and you're opening yourself up to harder questioning/being grilled on specifics.
Haha too good
anything u would change bro?
cant tell if ur being sarcastic or not hahahhaa

Honestly looks pretty good. Not a lot of whitespace and pretty standard formatting, so feedback is pretty nit-picky:
tysm for the feedback! appreciate it
try to condense most of your bullet points to one line, it's ok if some flow over to two lines but you shouldn't have all of them doing that (ai can help you w this). your interests are personable so they're fine but add 1-2 more and get rid of "(regular 10km runner)" to make space for the additional interests.
