Make It Easier

For Next Year's Recruits

If you're reading this, you already know—IB recruiting is a grind. Long hours, relentless attention to detail, the pressure to always be "on." And yet, there are things you learned that could have made it easier.

Maybe you passed them down through a Google Sheet, an Excel guide, or a club. But there's a better way. A place where insights don't get lost and each class can build on what came before like the GMAT Club, but for investment banking. That's why this site exists.

What Info Are We Looking For

Log your coffee chats, networking calls, and interviews—completely anonymously. Share if you got hit with a market trends question, drilled on technicals, or if the vibe was more casual or formal. Spot missing bankers who should be in the database. More insight, less guesswork, better prep.

How to Participate

  1. Sign Up Go
  2. Go to this page Start
  3. Search (command/control F) for bankers you had coffee chats with or who interviewed you
  4. Click on their picture and fill out a short form
  5. Add any investment banking professionals who are not included
  6. Repeat for each banker you interacted with

Rewards

  • If you add the most recaps, you get $300.
  • The next 10 people to add the most professionals will get $100.
  • Bonus prizes for adding professionals, for flagging mistakes, or for flagging you know additional info about a professional.
  • Bonus prizes for quality text recaps.

How I've Been Adding Info Fast

I've been scrolling back through my calendar, starting from the beginning of recruiting, and logging everyone I met with along the way.

Referrals

Invite other IB recruits to contribute. You get 50% of their responses added to your score. If either of you wins a prize, the other gets 50% of it—no deductions, just extra rewards. Just email me their contact info to track your referral.

Terms & Conditions

  • Incorrect data (including adding a professional who either does not exist, is not in investment banking, or is already in the database) will lower your record count, and repeated inaccuracies can make you ineligible for prizes.
  • If you add a Professional, the more complete the record—such as including Group, LinkedIn URL, and a picture—the more valuable it will be.
  • To qualify for any prize (excluding bonus prizes), you must add at least 40 records. For the grand prize, you must add 70.
