Frequently Asked Questions

A 1:1 coaching program run by ex-bankers that takes you from wherever you are now to signed investment banking offer: technicals, financial modeling, resume and story, mock interviews, and a networking system that gets you referrals.

Courses give you content; we give you coaching. Everything is personalized to your school, GPA, and timeline, with unlimited mock interviews and feedback until you're at the bar — and our incentives are tied to your outcome.

Execute the program as intended — your networking, practice, applications and coaching action items are all tracked in your member tools — and if you haven't landed a relevant finance role within five years of enrolling, you get 100% of the purchase price back, processed within two business days of an approved claim. Plain-English terms at ibblueprint.com/guarantee; the enrollment agreement is the governing document.

Especially for you. The system was built to beat a process that favours connections over talent — the networking, the story and the technical drilling matter most where the school name does the least for you.

A lower GPA changes the strategy, not the destination. We'll tell you honestly on your assessment call what's realistic and what the plan would be.

Yes. The path differs (off-cycle internships, lateral routes), and your coach will map the right one for your situation.

Thirty minutes, one-to-one with an ex-banker: a live first-round interview, then a straight verdict on where you stand and what to fix first. If we think we can get you there, we'll explain the programme and what it costs; if not, we'll say so. The assessment itself costs nothing. The programme it leads to is a serious investment — you hear the figure on the call.

Earlier than feels reasonable. Banks recruit 9–18 months ahead, and the strongest candidates start networking six months before applications open.

Most students invest 5–10 hours a week alongside their studies. Technical mastery is compressed into roughly 20–30 hours of focused work rather than 100+ hour generic courses.

Through your entire recruiting cycle, including the alumni network and resources after you sign — we support you into the seat, not just to the offer.

Yes. Many candidates make this decision with their family, and we would rather answer a parent's questions directly than have them relayed. When a family is funding the programme, we say the figure on a call the family is on, before any decision is made. There is a page written for them: For parents.

The payment structure is discussed on the same call as the figure, once we know we can help.
