ABOUT
XAVIER SZTEJNBERG
Investment banking still remains one of the best jobs to land after school. It provides you with a great experience but also tremendous optionality, whether it be private equity, hedge funds or corporate development – but how do you master the challenging, competitive, and intimidating interview process?
Naturally, you need to have strong academics, quantitative and leadership skills to compete successfully. However, grades and excellent educational programs alone cannot accomplish your desired results; proper guidance, training, and counseling are necessary for students to enter the investment banking field. In short, it is essential for students to receive thoughtful and rigorous support as they wrestle with the challenging interview process. I started Wall Street Career to make competitive candidates succeed in obtaining offer(s) in investment banking.
​
Throughout my career as an investment banker in New York for two decades, I have mentored, coached, and trained countless professionals. I have led recruiting and hiring committees, working to ensure my firms hired the best analysts or associates for the available positions while matching prospective candidates with our work style and culture. I have conducted 1,000+ job interviews as a banker and I have developed an in-depth knowledge of the interview process. I have also been able to secure roles at companies such as Lazard Frères & Co., McKinsey & Company, Morgan Stanley & Co. and The Blackstone Group. As a result, I understand what top firms look for in a candidate.
As the founder and director of the Wall Street for McCombs (WSFM) Leadership Program and in my finance faculty role at The McCombs School of Business of The University of Texas at Austin, I have instructed, guided, and mentored hundreds of students to help them succeed in securing an offer in investment banking or private equity.
