“Your guide has proven to be immensely helpful from the technicals all the way to networking, as I have already secured an internship offer from a premier middle-market bank in Chicago.”

“I was shocked at just how well the guide prepared me for the questions they asked. It was like they were quizzing me on the guide.”

“Your prep material is by far the best, and you have an amazing intuition for how people learn information. Thank you so much. I am a customer and advocate of BIWS for life.”

“What I feel is the real unique selling point of the guide is the fact that it doesn’t give you a preset answer but teaches you to formulate your own answers to the questions.”

“It’s one of the best study materials I have used – not just within investment banking, but among all other materials I have ever used (and I have used a lot for different subjects throughout the years).”

“Your product is, by far, the best in the market. I tried a couple of competitors’ products as well when preparing for both IB and PE interviews (FOMO of those having the silver bullet I could not find in BIWS I guess…) and there simply is no comparison to the depth, quality, and usefulness of it.”

“I have completed a few modules on Excellence with Excel and I love them!”

“BIWS is an amazing tool for any financial analyst out there, whether in IB, HF, PE, or equity research. I used to work at a bulge bracket firm, am currently [in] my last semester [in] my MBA at a top 10 and am currently working at a HF.”

“I worked in this role for a little over a year and I was recently offered a position at a PE firm in NYC. I had modeling tests and case studies that I passed with ease because of everything I had done with BIWS in my down time, especially the merger/LBO tutorials.”

“I cannot [imagine] surviving that first round without having gone through this experience. Safe to say that my increase in salary after having broken in does quite a bit more than cover the cost of these two guides that I purchased.”

“Just wanted to report good news to you all that I received an offer to join the [Jefferies] Healthcare group. I think you all definitely helped me out both during interviews and with the PPT/ninja lines.”

“Your Financial Modeling & Excel courses together with your interview guides helped me to be more confident and got me much further than I expected, whether it was handling modeling tests or getting through the earlier interviews.”

“I just got an investment banking analyst offer from a boutique firm in my country, without BIWS Platinum (Core Financial Modeling, Interview Guide, and more, and I ACED the interview), [I was sure I’d] never get in… I would say BIWS Platinum is a MUST for any aspiring IB Analyst.”

“Thanks in large part to your O&G; specific modules, I managed to obtain the highest score that anybody had ever achieved since the introduction of this test, outperforming the other candidates by miles.”

“Now I’ve gotten the job I always wanted in equity research. This class was a big reason I was able to get through the in-house modeling test.”

“Thanks to this course, I have been able to land a job in a PE firm in Spain, HIP, which is a subsidiary of Blackstone.”

“BIWS is the reason I was able to land a position in PE without the [industry standard] 2-year IB prerequisite.”

“Breaking Into Wall Street was a real game changer for me. It was the first modeling platform I came across where the founder and team thoroughly knew what they were doing because they had been in private equity or hedge funds before.”

“All the information [on] this website really helped me to land a job in the PE industry as an undergraduate. It also helped me to land interviews [at] many investment banks.”

“However, [PE] on-the-job taught me nothing about financial modeling, and I tried to find some courses to help me close the gap. Even [though] I haven’t completed some parts, my modeling skills are now much more excellent than my team and Japanese seniors.”

“I moved from being a tax accountant/lawyer with a Big 4 accounting firm to now working in the investments team of a PE fund. This would not have been possible without the core grounding I got from your practical course in financial modeling.”

“I just landed a job in a private equity fund, and I could not have done it without this course.”

“The courses have been with me since the beginning of my career. I was a sell-side research analyst, now working at an infrastructure investments company.”

“With no background in IB, I won multiple offers in private equity as well as one offer from IB. I am currently working at a PE fund, and your case studies made the case studies in their interviews a cake walk.”

“I actually have the access to material of a BIWS competitor – WSP – and your education style is way better in my opinion.”

“I was in consulting at MBB and your course helped me land a job in private equity. It’s still helping me get better at my job!”

“I have purchased the whole course available on your website, and I believe it has been one of the best investments I have made.”

“Overall, the BIWS materials I’ve purchased have been a great supplement to my learning and efforts in securing a private equity/investment role in a major finance hub.”
