Why IB Resumes Are Different
30-Second Screen
IB analysts review hundreds of resumes. They're looking for reasons to reject, not reasons to interview. Every formatting error, weak bullet, or missing detail is a strike.
Rigid Format Expectations
Investment banking has specific resume conventions that differ from other industries. Deviate from these and you signal you don't understand the industry.
Quantification is Mandatory
Generic bullets don't work in IB. Every experience needs numbers, deal sizes, revenue impact, analysis scope. No numbers = no credibility.
Deal Experience Matters
If you have any transaction experience, it needs to be positioned perfectly. We know how to describe deals in the language bankers expect.

These errors get resumes rejected instantly. We catch them all.
