Would anonymous mentorship (non-interview format) be useful?
WSO has a great mock interview service that I used back in the day to get a job. But here's a question for the new generation of WSO: do you feel that you would benefit from an anonymous mentorship service for people in the financial services industry that isn't just a mock interview? That is, would you be interested in being able to chat on the phone (for a price) with IBD analysts, associates, and beyond for purposes of objective advice and encouragement without having to rely on your IBD social circle (which might not exist for you, depending upon your alma mater)? (I'm not selling anything, I'm just asking if it would be at all useful for you if this existed :)
Alternatively, would it interest people who are already in the industry to be able to offer out advice (anonymously and for a fee) about what life is like on the other side (in your asset class, at your type of firm, etc)?
I don't know that people would be willing to pay for that if there is no possibility of leveraging the contact into interview opportunities (which I imagine would be hard to do on an anonymous basis). All of the information you need to get into banking is available for free online. The point of the info interviews is to develop a relationship with someone who might help you out one day.
In addition, I would feel bad about taking some kid's money for my largely useless advice.
I second this. Only scenario I could see it working is for someone who really has no one to talk to and really wants to talk to someone in the industry, but can't get contacts through referrals/networking etc. Obviously by nature would be a tiny market size and hard to imagine it'd be a worthwhile business opp.
