Investment Banking Recruiting

Prep You Will Find.

Why Join?

Did you know investment banking is one of the highest paying jobs you can get straight out of school? College grads average $125k+ as 1st-year analysts, and MBA grads average $200k+ as 1st-year associates…

Did you also know that major investment banks only accept <1% of the 100-200k+ applicants annually? Its selectiveness is on par with breaking into the NBA or NFL as a NCAA Division I athlete…

About Sam, Founder of Wall Street Mastermind

Sam founded Wall Street Mastermind to help aspiring investment bankers break into one of the highest paying, but also most competitive fields out there. He remembers how tough it was back when he tried to do so himself in 2007, right as the financial crisis was starting. Fortunately, he received invaluable mentorship from a friend who was already working as a vice president at a bulge bracket bank, and went on to work at one of the top groups on Wall Street.

Ever since then, his career has benefited tremendously from the time he spent in banking. He subsequently worked in private equity before moving on to run Strategic Finance at several high-growth VC-backed startups. Now, he would like to pay it forward and help others with similar aspirations achieve their dreams.

The Inner Wolf Pack Candidate Transformation Program

(For more details, Hover Over the Tiles Below on desktop or tap the tiles on mobile)

1 on 1 Check-in Calls

This is your personal time with me. How we spend these sessions will depend on a customized game plan based on your personal situation. I will focus on helping you with whatever you need help with the most. We also have the flexibility to adjust our plan on the fly as needed. All sessions will be recorded and sent to you so that you can rewatch anytime.

Weekly Group Coaching Sessions

Weekly Facebook Live group coaching calls. This is live Q&A where you can ask me anything about recruiting, networking, or interviewing. If nobody else shows up, you get additional 1:1 time with me. All videos will be recorded for those who cannot make it.

The Perfect Application

I will work with you and give you UNLIMITED REVISIONS to your resume, cover letter, and Linkedin profile. Other services will charge you $2,000 just for three rounds of editing, and it has to be done within 60 days. Here at WSMM, as you take on additional internships and extracurricular activities, we will help you update your resume until it's perfect and present these experiences in the best way possible, FOR FREE.

The Perfect Networking Scripts

I will help you with your networking efforts, including unlimited email edits for your cold emails, thank you emails, cold call scripts, etc. Networking is extremely hard, and the success rate of cold calls and emails are low enough as is. Make sure you don’t make silly mistakes and maximize the number of networking opportunities you have. You never know which one of them will turn into a job.

Private Inner Wolf Pack VIP Facebook Group

You will have exclusive access to a private VIP Facebook group where you can communicate and network with other Inner Wolf Pack members. Having a high quality network is going to make a huge difference on your career. I know this firsthand because I was able to lateral from Deutsche Bank to Morgan Stanley thanks to a friend who was already working there. We are a Wolf Pack, and the strength of the wolf is in the pack.

Interview Mastery

Instead of memorizing thousands of questions and answers, let us curate weekly lessons for you on the most common and trickiest questions you'll encounter. This includes 1) Qualitative / Behavioral Questions (why banking, why our firm, tell me about yourself, strengths / weaknesses, tell us about a time when, etc.), and 2) Technical Questions (accounting 101, valuation methodologies, M&A, LBO, etc.).

Live Deal Simulation Case Study

You will work on a live deal simulation based on a real company, and get a taste of what it's really like to work as a banker. You will put all the technical knowledge you've learned in this program into practice. You can also add this to your resume, stand out from the crowd, and impress your interviewer by talking intelligently about a deal. There are companies out there that offer this service for $500. We include it for free.

Secrets to Being "Top Bucket"

Making yourself the "top bucket" analyst or associate has numerous benefits. Not only will you get a higher year-end bonus, with the difference sometimes being tens of thousands of dollars, you will also be more highly recruited by the top buyside shops. The acceptance rate from investment banking into private equity is <2%. As a 1st year Associate at a top buyside firm, you can make $300k+ after bonuses. Not too shabby.

Emotional support, mindset, and accountability

Investment banking recruiting is a long and difficult process. It’s extremely important to have a buddy who keeps you on track. I will ask for regular updates, ensure you're making progress in the right areas, eliminate your limiting beliefs, and build your confidence. This is much bigger than just getting a banking job; you will benefit for the rest of your life. No other program coaches these intangible yet crucial things.

Question: What's the Investment in the Program?
