How to be one of the 3-5% of applicants will break into investment banking

How to be one of the 3-5% of applicants will break into investment banking (not what you've been told)

Don't:

  1. Network with HR / MDs thinking they will give you referrals

  2. Read the 400 questions over & over and think you are ready for 1st round & super days

  3. Send out 100s of applications without networking

Do:

  1. Network with Investment Banking Analysts - they were in your shoes before, are most open to having networking calls,

  2. Send quality applications out early on - applications are reviewed on a rolling basis

  3. Mock interviews with someone who has successfully broken into investment banking who can mimic the pressure, give you feedback, ask advanced questions
