Austin was working at KPMG and getting almost no replies to his outreach. Once he applied the networking approach from the program, responses picked up, those turned into real conversations with banks, and the interviews followed.

Watch How Students Landed Their Dream Offers
Jack started recruiting as a freshman at a non-target with no idea who to reach out to. With direct guidance on who to talk to and what to learn, he landed a freshman summer offer out West while already working at an investment bank.
Jay came into recruiting late from a non-target MBA program. The networking he did for full-time recruiting still pays off today, with MDs reaching out to him about open analyst seats almost a year later.
Our process
How the Banking Accelerator Gets You the Offer
After running the hiring room at J.P. Morgan and helping hundreds of students break in, we built a 3-step process that works regardless of your school, your background, or how late you're starting.
- 01
Get Matched With Your Dedicated Coach
- Your coach is a current or former banker who has worked at your target firm, in your target city, often coming from a background like yours.
- If we don't have the right match on our roster, we'll find one.
- Together you build your Career Action Plan, so you know exactly what to do each week until you sign your offer.
- 02
Follow Your Structured Roadmap
- Through regular 1-on-1 sessions, your coach takes you through everything that decides whether you get the offer: recruiting timelines, your resume and LinkedIn, networking that gets replies, behavioral answers that stand out, and the technicals you'll actually be tested on.
- Your coach reviews your work and catches the mistakes you can't see yourself.
Freshman · Freshman Year: Build foundation → Summer: 2nd experience + technicals → Sept Soph Year: Recruiting begins
- 03
Stay Accountable With the Community
- Four weekly group calls, two of them with Ben, the other two with current and former bankers.
- Monthly guest speakers from top banks and buy side firms.
- 24/7 access to your coach, Ben, and students going through the same process.
We stay with you until you land the offer, then help you perform in your internship and turn it into a return offer.

If we haven’t met before, my name is Ben Chon (@rareliquid on YouTube). I spent 2 years at J.P. Morgan as an investment banking analyst, closed over $15 billion in transactions, and led recruiting as a captain, deciding which resumes got interviews.
I broke in as a senior coming from a non-finance background, competing against candidates who’d been prepping since freshman year, and landed one of only two spots in my group. What made the difference was understanding what banks were looking for and working backwards from there.
Since then, the Banking Accelerator has helped over 200 students land offers at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Evercore, and other top banks. If you want to be next, book a call with my team below and let’s get you an offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions before booking a call.
Students and finance professionals - whether you're a freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, MBA grad or current professional - and are looking to land an investment banking job offer.
Clarity on what's actually holding you back. We'll assess your current situation, show you exactly what you need to focus on based on where you are, and give you a roadmap for your specific timeline and background.
If we're a good fit to work together, we'll explain how the Banking Accelerator works. If not, you'll still walk away knowing exactly what to do next.
Either way, you leave with a clear plan instead of more confusion.
Someone who has already done what you're trying to do. Your coach is a current or former banker matched to your background, target banks, and target city, so the advice fits your situation instead of being generic.
In your one on one sessions, they review your resume, audit your networking emails, and run mock interviews on your behaviorals and technicals, catching the mistakes you can't see on your own. Ben personally oversees the program, runs two weekly group calls, and is available to message when you need him.
No. There are recruiting windows for every stage: on cycle recruiting for freshmen and sophomores, off cycle for juniors, and full time for seniors and MBAs. Your coach builds your plan around the window you're in.
Many of our students came from non targets, including schools outside the top 100, and landed offers at Wells Fargo, Guggenheim, and other top banks.
We cover investment on the strategy call once we understand your situation and whether we can help.
There's no time limit. We work with you until you land the offer and continue supporting you through your internship and return offer.
