You're not an Investment Banker until you have...


Worked through the night on a pitch book, only to have the client cancel the meeting.

Used the wrong precedent transaction multiple, and had to redo all your comparables.

Struggled to get consensus numbers that align with your internal models.

Prepared a flawless presentation, only to find a typo on the cover slide just before the meeting.

Built a complex merger model, only to have the deal fall apart last minute.

Found yourself triple-checking every cell in your Excel sheets at 3 AM.

Been on a conference call where the CEO asks a question you don’t have the answer to.

Created a beautiful LBO model, only to have the assumptions change right before submission.

Spent hours perfecting your pitch, only to lose the mandate to a competitor.

Sat in endless meetings, questioning if the long hours and high stress are really worth it.
