Two Tracks to Prepare for Interviews

Technical builds the skills banks test. Tactical builds the campaign that gets the interview. Students tend to over-study and under-network; running both every week stops that.

Technical track

The Hard Skills

Excel, financial statement modeling, valuation, M&A and the LBO, finished with a grilling on superday interview questions so you are ready for whatever they ask.

Tactical track

Navigating the Process

Recruiting strategy, candidate positioning, resume, outreach, networking, referrals, behavioral questions, storytelling and superday preparation.

Target and non-target

Banks hold every candidate to the same technical bar. What differs is access, and the Tactical track is designed to close that gap, whether you are at a target school or building a path from outside one.

Questions

Candidates recruiting for investment banking summer analyst roles. The program is designed to finish as applications open and you start interviewing: intensive training before the season starts.

Yes. The Technical track starts from the three statements. The week 1 diagnostic sets your baseline so sessions start where you are, and we tailor delivery to each candidate so you are always challenged.

The Tactical track exists largely for you. Outreach, calls and referrals are how non-target candidates get the interview.

Two or three sessions, homework, and a networking quota. Each candidate has a personal portal where progress is tracked and strategy is discussed.

You leave with strong business acumen and ready to interview, with on-call support and resources through the recruiting season.

Pricing is discussed on the introductory call.
