Wall Street Mastermind

Wall Street Mastermind is offering a money back guarantee for the first time ever. The promise is simple: if you hire us to help you break into investment banking, and you don't get an offer, then we will refund your money. The only requirement: you have to actually do the work that we ask you to do. That's it. Essentially, this removes the risk of you working with us and not getting your money's worth. You either get a super high-paying job right out of school, or you don't pay. As a company, we make all major decisions based on data. Here's what we know: - We've consistently maintained a ~90% success rate, even as the number of students we've worked with has increased year over year. Class of 2020 was 92%, Class of 2021 was 89%, and Class of 2022 (in progress) is currently at 96% - Of the students who got offers, 11% go straight to the buyside (PE/HF/VC), 44% go to elite boutiques or bulge bracket banks, 34% go to middle market banks, and 11% end up at regional boutiques (primarily because they started recruiting after the bigger banks were done already) - Compare this to the acceptance rate at the top banks: Goldman (1.8% for summer 2019), JPMorgan (0.8% for summer 2021), Jefferies (3.5% for summer 2020). Our students outperform the industry average by a mile Skeptics might say that this is because we only work with the best candidates; the data says otherwise: - 45% (less than half) of our successful students come from target schools. 20% from semi-targets, and 35% from non-targets - 41% of our successful students joined our program with less than a 3.7 GPA, which is typically the minimum you'd like to see to be competitive. 21% started with lower than a 3.5, and 7% started with lower than a 3.3. The lowest GPA we've ever helped break into IB was 2.86 (we don't recommend this, she's an outlier) In fact, we've helped all sorts of students who thought that they had no chance at breaking in. You can check out all the different types here: https://lnkd.in/gMFepK3t The bottom line is this - if you need help with investment banking recruiting, you should at least have a chat with us to see if we can help you. If we can, we'll give you our money back guarantee and take on all the risk. If you can't, we will tell you that we can't and give you genuine advice on what you should do instead, because the last thing we want to do is work for free, lol. No other recruiting prep company is offering this kind of guarantee right now, probably because they can't. If you want more details, comment "GUARANTEED OFFER" down below and we'll send you more info. P.S. For the rest of this month (November 2021), we're doing a Black Friday sale where you get close to 20% off. Act fast :) #investmentbanking #wallstreet #wallstreetmastermind

One of the common questions I get from students is: When should I start networking? In my experience—and from what I’ve seen with my clients—the sweet spot for starting your networking journey is typically 3 to 6 months before applications open. Starting too early can actually backfire—trust me, I’ve seen it happen. If your resume isn’t strong enough yet or you haven’t had a chance to add relevant internships and extracurriculars, bankers might not take you seriously. And let’s be real, they’re way too busy to chat with someone who doesn’t look qualified (on paper, at least). On the flip side, starting too late comes with its own challenges. If the application is already open, it’s probably better to apply first and network after. Holding off might mean you miss the window entirely, and no amount of networking can fix that. But if you network post-application, it can feel more rushed and transactional. Plus, everyone else is usually scrambling to do the same thing, so responses are harder to come by. What we’ve found from working with 1,500+ students is that working backwards can make a huge difference. Breaking down the numbers—how many bankers you want to talk to, how many emails you need to send, and how much time you realistically have each week—can help make the process feel more manageable. It’s easy to underestimate how much work goes into this, but once you map it out, everything becomes much clearer. For example, if you want to speak with 300 bankers and can handle 15 calls a week, you’d need about 20 weeks to hit that goal. That means starting 5 months before applications open is ideal. It’s not perfect, but it gives you a solid plan. Looking back, timing was everything. Networking isn’t just about sending emails or jumping on calls—it’s about building relationships, which takes time. Starting early gave me room to grow my resume, learn the ropes, and connect with people on a genuine level. But even if you’re late, don’t panic. Apply first if you have to, and then focus on making every interaction count. Persistence and organization go a long way. If this resonates with you or if you’re just starting to navigate the process, know that you’re not alone. We all figure it out one step at a time. I’d love to hear your thoughts— What’s been the hardest part of networking for you?
