Don't go it alone. Assemble your power team.

Preparing for investment banking interviews can be a daunting task. It can help immensely to assemble a group of two or three other aspiring bankers to get through the recruiting process. This is especially feasible if you are a student and are participating in on-campus recruiting.

As a team, you can help each other the following ways:

Divide and conquer on industry and firm research
Review each others’ resumes
Give mock interviews to each other
Provide each other with moral support
Open doors for each other if one member is more successful than the others
Split costs (e.g. hotel, etc.) by traveling to informationals and career treks together.

Tips for assembling your team:

Pick members with the same level of dedication to breaking into the field
Pick members who are willing to share information with other members of the team
Pick members you like (at least a little) because you will spend a lot of time together

Good luck assembling your team!
