On this episode, Max talks with Emilie Carrel, UK CEO of Edge Skills and a former investment banker in London. Emilie has personally helped more than 100 students land offers at banks like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, working alongside mentors from firms including Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, and Perella. This episode talks about how UK investment banking recruiting works, why spring weeks set off a domino effect for the rest of your career, what happens inside a UK assessment center, why acceptance rates can fall below one percent, and why networking might matter even more in London than it does on Wall Street. 0:00 Trailer 1:47 Meet Emilie Carrel 2:19 The Three Phases of UK Recruiting 7:29 What Is a Spring Week 11:53 Inside the UK Assessment Center 16:14 Why Networking Matters in the UK 25:32 US vs UK Behavioral Interviews 28:57 UK Technical Interviews and Modeling Tests 31:38 Compensation and Lifestyle in London 35:27 The UK Bank Landscape 42:31 What Edge Skills Does 46:35 Advice for US Students Targeting London 49:36 Conclusion ✉️ Connect with me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wallstreetm...
