FAQs

+Why not just prepare on my own?

You can. Most do. But interviews are ranked, not graded, and the people above the cut are supported. Alone, you compete with their support, not their talent.

+I'm at a non-target school. Is this for me?

The program was largely built for you. The network and the story have to be built deliberately, and we do that with you. What we cannot fix is not doing the reps.

+How much time does it take?

It is built around your semester and sequenced against your real deadlines: consistent weekly reps, heavier as interviews approach.

+What does it cost?

The price is said out loud on the call, in real numbers, before you are asked to decide anything. If we don't think you're a fit, we say so before price is discussed.

+Do I pay for the assessment?

No. The assessment itself costs nothing. The programme it leads to is a serious investment — you hear the figure on the call.

+Can my parents join the call?

Yes. Bring them to the call or to a follow-up.

More questions

Why good candidates get cut

The Information Is Free. That Is Exactly the Point.

Every technical guide and every interview question is one search away. If information got people hired, everyone would be hired.

0.7%
Goldman Sachs acceptance rate in 2025, on more than 360,000 applicants
493,000
Applications to JPMorgan in 2024, for roughly 4,000 seats

At those odds there is no pass mark. Nobody asks whether your answer was good. They ask whether anyone's was better.

The candidates above the cut are not smarter. They are supported: coached by ex-bankers, mock-screened every week, networking on a system. Walk in alone and you are not competing with their talent. You are competing with their support.

The Break-In Blueprint

Six Places Candidates Get Cut. Six Fixes.

One program, done with you, not dumped on you. Every candidate gets all of it.

01

“I'm not at a target school.”

Your Story, Engineered. We take your real background and sequence it into a narrative a banker can follow in one pass. Not invented, not inflated.

  • • Built for non-target, international and career-change candidates
  • • A story you can defend line by line under questioning

02

“My resume dies in the screen.”

The Full Digital Rebuild. Resume, cover letter and LinkedIn rebuilt line by line, with every submission reviewed and returned within 72 hours.

  • • The Online-Application Playbook for tests, HireVue and game-based assessments
  • • The Experience Bridge, when needed: help landing the smaller role that gives a thin resume real substance

03

“I don't know a single banker.”

Networking Mastery and Your Live CRM. We build your target list and draft your outreach with you. The CRM makes sure no follow-up is ever dropped.

  • • Done with you, so the relationships are yours
  • • Every contact and every follow-up tracked in one place

04

“I freeze on technicals.”

Technical Mastery and the Superday Dojo. Accounting, valuation, DCF, M&A and LBO taught to fluency, then drilled against the clock.

  • • Timed pressure drills that test whether you understand the concept, not whether you memorized a script
  • • Spaced repetition that keeps bringing back your weak spots until they hold
  • • Includes the MIFS modeling certification

05

“I don't know what they'll ask.”

The Firm Databank and Behavioral Mastery. Real, previously asked questions by firm and team, drawn from more than 1,300 candidate-submitted interview records.

  • • “Walk me through your resume”, “why banking” and “why us” engineered, then drilled
  • • Search by firm before your interview

06

“I don't know what to do next.”

Your Coach Team and the Plan of Attack. Unlimited 1:1 coaching and live mock interviews with ex-bankers. No session caps, no hourly meter.

  • • Your school, grades, timeline and targets turned into a week-by-week route
  • • Job Finder and Tracker: live openings and deadlines, every application tracked to outcome

IBBlueprint founder

Who built this

We Are Not Guessing What Interviewers Want.

Kai is ex-Goldman Sachs. He ran real first-round interviews and helped decide who advanced. Ethan, his co-founder, comes from Jefferies.

That matters more than it sounds. Passing an interview once tells you what worked for one person. Running the round shows you the whole range of answers, and exactly where the cut falls.

A candidate runs this race once. We run it every day.

  • ✓ Founded by Kai, ex-Goldman Sachs, who ran real first-round interviews
  • ✓ Co-founded with Ethan, from Jefferies
  • ✓ Capped at 20 candidates per cycle, so unlimited coaching stays an honest promise
  • ✓ We say no when it is not a fit

Non-target, international student → secured an internship she's genuinely excited about

“The biggest change for me was my confidence, particularly when it came to networking.”

The IBBlueprint team is world class. Me and a few other students from my class left talking about how the session was way more insightful and actually useful than we expected — and we already went in with pretty high expectations. Every coach clearly knows both the soft and hard skills for IB inside out. They can spot weaknesses you didn’t even realize you had within like 30 seconds. It’s obvious they’ve done a ton of interviews.

[…] Two different coaches jumped on, including one who had actually worked at my target team/firm. They even sent me a personalized roadmap and resources afterwards.

[…] Clear, honest advice on where I stand and exactly what I need to do to get to elite boutique level. Highly recommend.

Just got invited to a Super Day at a tier 1 BB this afternoon and wanted to share my experience. As promised by Kai, I gained an incredible amount of insight and value from the session. I now have a clear understanding of the main thing holding me back in interviews. The whole team is fantastic — they went above and beyond by staying past the scheduled time to answer all my questions. Special thanks to Marco for sending me lessons and tools.

Coming from a semi-target school, for the first time I actually feel like there’s a clear and realistic path to my dream career. Looking forward to starting the full program and continuing to work with them.

Nearly instant ROI. I love how Kai wastes zero time and instantly recognized exactly what I needed to work on. The way the feedback is given, you can immediately tell they’ve interviewed hundreds of people — it feels like they see through every hesitant word or pause. He really goes above and beyond to make sure you actually get what you need out of the session. Highly recommend.

I'd say the biggest thing that helped… the 1:1 support alongside all the content and learning games

I'd say the biggest thing that helped me was the support - did all the content and that really helped but being able to ask any question or type of advice from the team there definitely made it possible to get the intern offers I did. Thanks again team!

Strong program, not a shortcut

Helpful if you don't have a feeder club or alumni pipeline. Structure is the main value — I stopped guessing what to work on each week.

Mocks and the interview question bank were better than the generic 400-question guides. Community is hit or miss depending on how active your cohort is.

Onboarding call was a lot of information at once and felt sales-y. Program is expensive relative to a self-study stack. I treated it as paying for accountability and feedback, not a guarantee.

Landed an EB internship after two processes. Fine with the rating because the outcome was real and the process was still on me.

Individual experiences presented here may not be typical. Their background, education, effort, and application affected their experience. The information shared here is for example purposes and not a guarantee of outcome or received services or products. Your results may vary.
