Will my child get an investment banking job?

We prepare you for a balanced list across finance, aiming high and covering strong and secure options. No one can guarantee an offer from any firm; our job is to make you Desk-ready for the roles that fit you.

What if it does not work?

If you attend your sessions, complete your set tasks and apply to your agreed list by the deadlines, and the cycle does not land, your plan, portal and support continue into the next cycle. Full refund if you cancel before coaching starts. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Q: How do I know which programme my child needs?

Book a free call. Within 24 hours you receive a written plan with the programme, the timeline and the offer it prepares for.

Every plan is designed and signed off by our Head of Advisory. Every advisor has worked or interned at a top firm and is trained in the Desk-Ready Framework.

Your child’s programme is led by one person. When they need a specific division, such as credit, derivatives or quant, an advisor who has worked in it runs the mocks and reviews.
