Introduction
Competition for top jobs within the investment banking industry is fierce
Excellent academic achievements and relevant practical experience are prerequisites, however, surviving the application and interview
process is critical to landing a job/ internship in investment banking
Being convinced that nothing beats good preparation mycareerprep was established by professionals from the investment banking and
strategy consulting industry to prepare and enhance the competitive profile of students who seek a career within investment banking and
strategy consulting
While all authors of this guide have working and recruiting experience at prestigious investment banks such as Credit Suisse, Merrill Lynch and
Morgan Stanley and possess detailed insights into the application, interview and selection process we believe that it is of outmost importance
for all our readers and seminar participants to understand: We do not have the holy grail for interview preparation and as such there is no
possible way we can provide you with a free ticket to your future job nor do we intend to teach you everything you have to know for the
interviews. However, we intend to tell you exactly what you have to know and we have developed a master plan to ensure you the best
possible preparation
We have put a lot of effort into consolidating what we believe to be the most relevant information for internship and full time applicants and
believe that this guide now resembles a tremendously value adding source for anyone confronted with interviews at any investment bank out
there. It covers
- An industry overview, covering the most important groups and functions within investment banking
- Day-to-day business or, what is it really like to work in investment banking
- A detailed overview of the application process and how you will ensure to be invited
- A master plan for the interview process - know what the banks expect and be prepared
- More than 100 training questions, brainteasers and guesstimates
The information presented herein is based on our own real life experience from working and recruiting at top tier investment banks, extensive
industry research and interviews with experts from the banking and recruitment industry. In case you find any of the information presented
herein to be incorrect or want to suggest that we add certain information, please send us an email at info@mycareerprep·com
