“My mentoring session with Andre was extremely valuable and gave me the clarity and direction I needed at an important stage of my application journey. He was kind, approachable, and generous with his time, creating an atmosphere in which I felt comfortable sharing my experiences, asking questions, and discussing my doubts openly.
One of the most helpful aspects of our conversation was his guidance on how to organize and communicate my personal story. Andre helped me understand how to connect different experiences into a coherent narrative, identify the elements that matter most, and explain their significance more clearly. His perspective was fundamental in helping me see how to present my background with greater confidence, purpose, and authenticity.
I particularly appreciated his advice on what to avoid. He helped me recognize that including every detail does not necessarily make a story stronger, and that being selective can make a message much more effective. Our discussion gave me a clearer understanding of how to avoid unnecessary repetition, keep my narrative focused, and ensure that each part contributes something meaningful to the overall application.
Andre also provided valuable guidance on how to organize the application process itself. He helped me think more clearly about priorities, how to approach the different components, and how to make the work feel more manageable. Having a clearer structure has made a difference to my mindset: instead of seeing the applications as one overwhelming task, I now feel better equipped to approach them through specific, achievable steps.
Another important takeaway was his advice on how to use the coming days effectively. Our conversation helped me understand where to focus my energy, which tasks deserve immediate attention, and how to establish a realistic plan. I left the session with a stronger sense of direction and a better understanding of how to balance thoughtful preparation with consistent progress.
What made the experience positive was the combination of practical guidance and encouragement. Andre offered suggestions in a considerate and constructive way, helping me reflect on my choices while also making me feel supported. His kindness made it easier to engage honestly with the process and to see areas for improvement as opportunities to strengthen my applications.
Overall, this session was fundamental in helping me understand both what I want to communicate and how to move forward. I now have a clearer approach to telling my story, organizing my applications, avoiding common mistakes, and planning the next few days with intention.
I am very grateful for Andre’s support and for the care he brought to our conversation. His advice gave me useful tools, renewed confidence, and a more focused approach to the work ahead. I would highly recommend a session with him to anyone seeking thoughtful guidance, practical direction, and a supportive space to develop their application narrative. The session helped me turn uncertainty into a clearer plan, and I feel much more prepared to make the most of the time ahead and present my experiences in a meaningful and convincing way.”
Better. Thanks for doing this
DB no longer a bulge bracket... pls fix, ty!
Also, Allen & Co as Middle-Market. Wtf?
I wonder what is the EB above Centerview Partners. And Maybe change the color of the BB rectangles as they are fairly similar to the big rectangles.
That’s PJ Solomon north of CVP
This is great. Please add all hedge fund and asset managers so that sales can map the perfect walk between clients and lunch spots. Please add a comprehensive heat map showing all restaurants comparing distance vs. cost vs. probability of closing deal vs. RoRWA for bank.
Have this on my desk tomorrow, but don't burn the midnight oil on this one.
tks
Blackstone isn't a bank...the M&A advisory business is now PJT. They should probably be removed from this map.
Houlihan Lokey - 245 Park Ave (Same location as SocGen)
Looking good.
I thought the hsbc IB office was on the southeast corner of Bryant Park. Also the rothschild logo is sideways. Still pretty solid overall though, nice job!
This is correct on both fronts
looks good, thanks
You have Barclays wrong - they are on 7th Ave. Should be grouped with UBS as they are west of UBS.
Happy Friday, ya'll!
I know the map is getting cramped, but I don't think I see Warburg Pincus? 450 Lexington, corner of 45th. Raymond James has offices @277 Park Ave. Greenhill is @300 Park. Cool concept, regardless, thanks for all the effort and for sharing!

Where's State Street?
In the trash can
Wow lol
Wells Fargo has a bigger IB division in Charlotte than they do in Manhattan. B of A IB is about 50/50 Charlotte/Manhattan
Both banks are HQ'd in Charlotte.
This is true for Wells, tho I think BAML has most of its IB in NY now
Ok
There are some public finance jobs down in Charlotte for BAML, but that's about it anymore.
