If you're aiming for IBD, S&T, or AM roles in London for the 2026 Summer Analyst cycle and feel your experience is lacking, a modeling course could be a game-changer. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s why and what you should consider:

Recommended Courses:
Additional Tips:
In short, a modeling course is definitely worth considering, especially if you pair it with networking and a polished CV. It’s time to “cook” up a killer application, Walter!

Just realised that when I was messing with it to upload here, I accidentally removed the date from the last experience on my CV, but that would be there usually.
Experiences are somewhat underwhelming; an experience from 2022 may not be the best, and only having one other work experience, being a spring insight program, may not be competitive enough. Would try to get a 3rd bullet point for the spring program, and maybe do some sort of project
Thanks for your response. Would something like "networked with x individuals, gaining insight into xyz" be okay? That's pretty much all I've got left to talk about regarding that experience. Also, what kind of projects would you suggest, considering the recruitment process has just begun, meaning I have some, but not heaps of time? Constructing a DCF for a company of interest?

Top Hedge Fund is definitely Citadel
This CV I don't think is an IBD CV but better suited to S&T for a few reasons mainly that you don't any IBD technicals down eg DCFs and the like that I think you require to show you know what you're getting into
Yeah, I've applied to S&T wherever possible, as this is a career path that definitely interests me alongside IBD. I've got at least a month before any actual interviews, so do you reckon it'd be worth doing a course like BIWS/WSP to get the basics down (+ add it to the CV)?
Also, I can neither confirm nor deny Citadel ;)
Of course, I'd add those courses. It's just that bc there are like 10x masters' students applying to IBD, S&T might offer you a better ROI.
