In this episode, Chris shares his real investment banking recruiting journey—from a non-target school, with no finance background, to finally landing an offer after multiple Superday rejections.

We cover:

What it’s like recruiting without knowing the “finance language”

Dealing with imposter syndrome in IB recruiting

Aggressive networking and using platforms like Wall Street Oasis

Why most Superdays end in rejection

What actually made the difference in getting the offer

This is a must-watch for students trying to break into investment banking, finance, or Wall Street from a non-traditional background.
