FREE Live Class: How To Actually Convert Your Applications Into Offers
Are you applying this cycle and not sure whether what you're preparing is the right thing?
Or preparing for your first recruiting season and don't know where to start?
Every year the number of applications goes up and the acceptance rate goes down, but the questions students ask me haven't changed...
Is it just luck? How do I stand out? What do interviewers actually care about?
Led by a former investment banker now in private equity, this free 90 minute class walks through what separates the students who convert this cycle from the ones who don't, using real examples at every stage.
What We'll Cover
Where You Are In The Cycle
What's open right now, what closes when, and what you should be doing this month depending on whether you're a first year, mid applications, or coming off a cycle that didn't go your way.
Technicals Under Pressure
Why knowing the answer and surviving the answer are two different skills, broken down live across the three layers of any technical question, with side by side examples of an answer that passes and one that gets you moved forward.
Forming And Defending A View
Why "tell me about a deal you found interesting" is a judgement test rather than a knowledge test, walked through end to end on a real transaction so you can apply the same five step breakdown to any headline this week.
Delivery And Role Fit
Everything after the technicals that quietly decides who gets the offer, including why you can be completely correct and still get rejected, and what interviewers are reading while you're answering.
Live Q&A
I'll stay on at the end to answer your questions, joined by students currently going through processes who'll answer them with me.
About Your Host
Hi! I'm Chenxi. I landed four spring week offers in my first year, converted at Bank of America, spent four years in investment banking and now work in private equity.
What I remember most about that first year is preparing for spring weeks like it was a final year exam, stacks of handwritten notes on technicals, behaviourals, commercial awareness, all of it, with no way of knowing whether any of it was the right thing to be spending my time on. It worked out, but a lot of it was guessing.
This class is the version of that I wish someone had given me.
