« What are the standard requirements of Investment Banks concerning a resume? What are the technical questions and fit questions asked? At what moment should I apply and how can I organize my applications for Investment Banking? AlumnEye is an efficient stepping stone which answers scrupulously these questions with pragmatism.

« As a student, it’s hard to measure the complexity of the recruitment process in Investment Banking. To know someone who has already gone through that is decisive, maybe even essential. Thanks to the advice from members of the AlumnEye Network, I got an offer for a Summer Internship in Investment Banking at Nomura followed by an off-cycle in Private Equity at Goldman Sachs where they finally offered me a job as a Private Equity Analyst. »[button text= »What is a seminar? » title= »What is a seminar? » url= »http://www.alumneye.fr/en/contact-us/ » align= »center »]

Chloé –
After my AlumnEye seminar, I was much better prepared for technical questions: indeed, despite intensive work I had been stuck on numerous questions that aren’t present in most finance manuals. With AlumnEye, I was able to identify the key points, relevant and recurring in interviews, and I thus could optimize my preparation techniques, complete it and give it a framework, guarantying efficiency. I could also benefit from an individual follow-up after the seminar, similar to an efficient coaching program which made me very dynamic and active in my internship research, giving me numerous keys for applying, keys which I would have never thought of by myself before. Finally, thanks to the AlumnEye seminar, I learned how to use my school’s network in order to get interviews that I previously had a hard time getting. More than the technical training, this is for me the essential point that enabled me to get into the Summer Internship program at J.P. Morgan in Asset Management.
« ECM, DCM, M&A, PE, Leveraged Finance, it’s hard to make an informed choice when you don’t have any contacts in the industry. AlumnEye gave me access to a whole network of insiders who were able to answer all of my questions. So I signed with the Investment Banking division of Crédit Agricole knowing every detail, and I must say, my internship and I fit perfectly together! »

Moreover, thanks to the AlumnEye Network, I was put in direct contact with an insider in the fund in which I was applying, who gave me precious advice for my interview.

« At first I wanted to do the AlumnEye seminar to reassure myself on the technical questions that one can get during M&A interviews. I quickly realized that I really wasn’t ready! During this seminar, I had the opportunity to strenghten my knowledge, and to master a great technicality during my interview at CA-CIB in no time. This also helped me prepare for the fit part of the interview, a key element which I had clearly underestimated. I got an M&A internship at CA-CIB in the 3 days following my seminar. Thanks again! »
« Despite having 2 previous internships in the field and numerous interviews, AlumnEye made me realize that I was insufficiently prepare for the recruitment process in banks, which is extremely demanding. A first interview with an AlumnEye professional helped me organize my application documents. Then, the seminar, held by professionals from the industry, helped me understand the key to interviews and how to face them with serenity, after having gone through all of the personal questions, news and technical questions. The AlumnEye seminar helped me get an off-cycle in Sales at HSBC and will be of great use for me in the future. »
« If I am at the Crédit Agricole CIB in an off-cycle as an Assistant Sales Fixed Income today, it in great part thanks to AlumnEye.

« A small note just to thank AlumnEye, their seminar and their workbook: all of the essential information to arrive fit and ready at your interview is in it, and I’ve just gotten an offer for a 6-month internship in M&A at DC Advisory ! See you around, thanks very much. »
« Going through M&A interviews is always a hard experience. The most important element is perhaps information, because as time is very limited, you absolutely need to be trained to know what to study, how not to get stuck in details or worse, forget to go through those essential questions that always come up during interviews. The AlumnEye seminar helps you drastically reduce this information asymmetry. Moreover, the pertinent advice on the fit part of the interview helped me become much more reactive and precise when answering, which was, I believe, a determining element in getting that internship offer they offered me. »
« Even a first experience in Investment Banking wasn’t enough to set myself apart from other candidates during M&A interviews. AlumnEye not only enlightens you on the specificities of such interviews, but also prepares candidates to this challenge. The quality of the documents provided and the team’s availability have made AlumnEye the essential step for me to get my offer of M&A internship at ODDO & Cie. »
