Looking to break into investment banking but unsure how to position yourself or where to start? This 30-minute call is designed to give you clarity and not generic advice. I’ll walk you through how IB is structured, including the differences between ket teams such M&A, Leveraged Finance, and Debt Capital Markets, what each team does, the day-to-day work, and the skillsets they value most.


I'll also share real-world insights from my own experience working in Investment Banking across London and India, including front-office roles in M&A and Leveraged Finance. We’ll align on your background and map out which roles or regions make the most sense for you.


You’ll leave this session with:

  • A clear understanding of how IB teams are split and operate
  • Direction on what to focus on and develop next
  • Tactical recruiting strategies that actually work
  • Access to relevant introductions from my IB network, where possible


This call is not for CV editing—that’s a separate 60-minute service I offer.
