I recruited into investment banking out of college and experienced many of the same struggles and roadblocks that I know you are. Because of my lower GPA, I doubled down on my networking and technical / behavioral interview prep, and I eventually received multiple bulge-bracket and boutique offers. I can help you learn the technicals, prepare you for a modeling test, help you with your resume, or help you think through your overall recruiting strategy. I can show you what helped me learn all of those skills, and I can also give you insights on what we looked for in candidates and discussed after interviews that can help you stand out.
