Jocelyn’s Investment Banking Qualifications
Experience level: Analyst
Jocelyn has helped clients get into these companies:
What sets me apart from other stellar coaches on this platform is that I didn't get into IB via a traditional route. I started my career in accounting and through a combination of networking, story crafting, technical prep, and grit found my way into a middle market investment bank. If you want to lateral to IB (or get in generally) I can help you. I had a number of significant roadblocks including poor health in my undergrad, a mediocre GPA and limited connections in IB. After figuring out which levers I needed to pull and which doors I needed to bang on, I now am almost a year into my job at Piper Sandler with a mega fund PE offer as well. Making this jump has unlocked an entire new level to my career and I am passionate about helping others in similar situations. If you can get the story right, it can take you anywhere.
