I came into banking from the British Army, not through the standard graduate route, so I know what it takes to break in from outside it. My first role was as an associate in project finance derivatives at Lloyds. I then built and led a corporate derivatives sales desk at SMBC, where I was a Managing Director. On that desk I interviewed and hired the people who joined my team. I help students, graduates and career changers prepare for sales and trading interviews. We work on the questions you will actually face: markets, products, how you would pitch an idea to a client, and why you want this desk and not another. I run realistic mock interviews and give you written feedback after each one, so you know exactly what to fix. Working with me is direct. I will tell you plainly where you stand, how an interviewer would see you, and what to change before the real thing. No coach can promise you an offer. My aim is that you walk in prepared and know how you will be judged.
