Lateral Hire

After applying some of the things that you guys taught me, I definitely saw an uptick in the amount of responses I was getting back from people — which is starting the conversations, leading to great conversations with banks, and leading to interviews opening up.

Austin

Non-Target Freshman

I have an offer out West for this summer, for freshman summer, and I'm actively working at an investment bank right now. Those kind of things wouldn't have happened if I didn't have direct guidance on how to reach out to people, who I should be talking to, what's important to learn.

Jack

MBA Career Switcher

The networking I did when I was recruiting for a full-time position is actually paying off today. I had a couple of MDs hit me up about analyst positions opening up — this is from networking almost a year ago. You build connections not just for today, but for the future.

Banking Accelerator Review

The Banking Accelerator gave me the opportunity, resources, and mentorship needed to succeed in the IB recruitment process. The technical prep modules were extremely helpful in explaining each interview concept clearly and preparing me for the types of questions banks typically ask. Additionally, the resources provided, such as the application tracker, past interview question bank, and networking tracker, made the process much more efficient and organized. Being paired with a coach who recruited for the same role I was targeting was especially valuable, as it provided insight from someone who had gone through the process firsthand. Overall, I would highly recommend the program to anyone looking to break into investment banking.

The Edge I Needed to Land My Offer

I joined Banking Accelerator in late December after doing most of my networking and preparing for interviews, and it ended up being exactly the final push I needed. The weekly office hours were super helpful because I could ask specific questions about recruiting, and my mentor played a huge role in sharpening my interview skills through mock interviews and personalized feedback. I had already put in a lot of the groundwork on my own, but this program helped bring everything together and gave me the extra edge I needed. I genuinely don’t think I would have gotten my offer without it, and I’m really grateful for the experience.

Great Program

I've had a few people reach out and ask about the program before they had enrolled, and I always say that it's definitely better than other competing resources in my opinion. The bottom line is on par: the structure, services, etc. You can definitely get more out of this program if you are more active and ask for more — utilizing these 1on1 call with Ben, reaching out to people who landed an offer, etc. I've joined early on so I've witnessed the development of the program and I can assure Ben and the admins definitely care for improving and assisting you and your experience.

Extremely Helpful Program

Ben personally guided me on an interview process, told me exactly what videos and lessons to refer to in the program while I completed the case study, and gave me helpful, tailored tips for networking based on my past emails and resumes. The technical portion of the program is hands down the easiest and simplest way to understand any concept - I was able to learn and absorb material from accounting - M&A/LBO 10x as fast and become much more confident for upcoming interviews. Would highly recommend the program for breaking into IB and adjacent roles.

Practical banking / finance mentorship and experience.

- Constructive feedback from interview practice, particularly in the constructing the narrative on selling myself. - Sharpening technical skills, and material that helps with real work experience such as modelling. - Ben has such a vast wealth of experience and network, and he always brought interesting professionals from all parts of the finance industry outside of just IB & PE. This really widened my perspectives and lens on what kind of role in finance I specifically wanted to aim for (which was private credit).

I had a great experience with Banking…

I had a great experience with Banking Accelerator. The one-on-one coaching was especially helpful because it really guided me through the process whenever I had questions and made sure I was focusing on the right things at the right time. The program also has great resources for both technicals and behaviorals. Ben was very nice and supportive throughout the whole process as well. Overall, it made the recruiting process more structured and manageable; I would definitely recommend it.
