What we teach
- Interview flow: the intro, behaviorals, the why, technicals or the case, and your questions.
- Pacing: how long each answer should run, and how to tell when you've lost the room.
- Recovering from a blank: say what you know, reason out loud, and come back to it.
- How deep a student starting recruiting actually needs to go in their track, and what to skip for now.
- Applying to every open role on the target list, and keeping the outreach running while you do.
Finance
- Walk-throughs of the questions first rounds actually ask, out loud and on paper.
- One deal and one market story, explained in plain English.
- Where the line is: what a freshman is expected to know, and what they aren't.
Accounting
- Walk-throughs of the questions first rounds ask, out loud and on paper.
- A "why this firm" answer built from a recruiting event or office visit.
- Where the line is: clean fundamentals beat memorized standards.
