Investment banking, private equity and hedge fund applications, coached by someone who hires for them.
Every stage of the process, from a CV that gets past the screen to the technical questions that separate an offer from a polite rejection.
What the coaching actually involves
- Step 1
Diagnose
Your CV, your target list and your technical baseline, assessed in the free call and the first session. No generic plan.
- Step 2
Rebuild the application
CV and cover letters rewritten to the standard a screener at a bulge bracket or elite boutique expects, with the story that ties your background together.
- Step 3
Learn the technicals properly
Three statements, valuation, DCF, LBO, merger models and brain-teasers, taught to the level asked in first rounds and superdays, with practice sets.
- Step 4
Mock everything
Fit interviews, technical rounds, HireVue, assessment centres and superdays, run as the real thing, then debriefed line by line.
Why the technicals matter more than people think
Most candidates lose in the technical round, not the fit round. Not because the questions are hard, but because they learned answers instead of mechanics. If you can only recite how a DCF works, the first follow-up question exposes it. We teach the mechanics the way analysts learn them on the desk, so when the interviewer changes an assumption you can follow, and when they ask something you have never seen you can reason your way there.
The calendar drives everything
UK spring week and summer internship applications open from August and close on a rolling basis through the autumn; many firms fill seats before their stated deadlines. US junior-summer recruiting starts even earlier. A coaching plan that ignores those dates is a hobby. Yours will be built backwards from them.
Outcomes, in their words
“I went from rejections to three IB interviews in two months. The mock interviews were harder than the real thing, which is exactly why the real thing went fine.”
“Case coaching that actually taught me how consultants think, not just frameworks. I got the McKinsey offer on my first attempt.”
Before you book
Which roles do you cover?
Investment banking (M&A, coverage, ECM/DCM, leveraged finance), private equity and growth equity, hedge funds, sales & trading, and the asset management and investor relations seats around them. Spring weeks, summer internships, graduate schemes and lateral moves.
I'm at a non-target university. Is it worth it?
This is where coaching moves the needle most. Non-target candidates need a tighter story, a smarter firm list and stronger technicals than target-school peers, and all three are teachable.
Do you do US recruiting?
Yes. The US calendar runs earlier (junior-summer internships are largely decided the year before), and the interview style differs. We coach both, and can pair a US-based practitioner for desk-specific mocks.
What about the Gulf?
Many clients are at international schools or universities in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar targeting London or New York, or the growing Gulf offices of global banks and sovereign funds. Sessions are scheduled in Gulf time and priced in AED for guidance.
