Only 3 things actually decide whether you break into High Finance.

I got most of my technical questions wrong & still converted a ₹50LPA+ offer.

Here’s what actually mattered:

1. YOUR CV IS THE INTERVIEW BEFORE THE INTERVIEW.

You may be the smartest person in the room. The problem? The recruiter never meets you first.

They meet your CV.

Most people make one in a few hours, use an AI template, send it everywhere and then wonder why nobody responds.

Making a CV ≠ crafting one.

Crafting means understanding exactly what the recruiter wants and selling your entire story on one page.

During my MBA, we spent 15–18 days on a CV with guidance from people already working in the roles we wanted.

2. STOP ASKING FOR REFERRALS. GIVE THEM A REASON TO REFER YOU.

Most messages I receive are some version of: “Hi sir, please refer me.”

That’s exactly why they get ignored.

I had no banker uncle and no established finance network. My opportunities across VC, IB and PE came through cold outreach.

Networking is a two-way street. Who you contact, when you contact them, what you offer and how you ask changes everything.

3. THE INTERVIEW IS A SALES ROOM, NOT AN EXAM HALL.

I got 5 of 7 technical questions wrong. I still got the offer.

These are client-facing roles. Technicals matter - but so do your story, communication, attitude and ability to handle pressure.

Everyone prepares finance. Very few prepare themselves.

Do those, who have zero idea about their career and wanna break into finance from the very scratch, can join for any type of personalized guidance in the session?

Lol.. If you cracked an IB Job why would you conduct tutorials for others.. unless you are an intern, IB guys dont even have the time for all this.. Even if you do so, Im sure 1/2 years later you'll be posting "Reason Why I left my 50+LPA IB job and strted something on my own" type of shit...
