Get on larger transactions

You need to really play up how lean your deal teams are and the level of responsibility you get. Up to a certain extent if you can "own" a deal from beginning to end its arguably more valuable than being a model monkey for some multi-billion dollar merger that never closed.

You need to sell the hell out of your role on the deals you’ve been on. They invited you to superday knowing about your experience - how can it be a dealbreaker afterward? You’re probably not doing a good enough job conveying your role and what you learned.

IB Associate1, any tips on how to convey my role better? What are the main concerns and questions from the interviewers perspective? I'm getting all the technicals correct, I don't see what I'm doing wrong.

Agreed with Assoc 1. Ppl form GE FMP sometimes land BB offers over IB competition
