Case Study: Jefferies IB – From Warwick Rejections to Summer Offer

At a Glance

• 95% offer‑rate benchmark; 100% CV‑pass (BDC® one‑pager); 4 months to offer; Frameworks: BDC™, STAR‑3™, PEAL‑3™, Gravity Technique

• Analyst track £110k; Schroders Spring Insight secured

Before

Warwick undergraduate; multiple rejections (Jefferies, Schroders, Houlihan Lokey); no interviews; limited network.

After

Jefferies Spring Week → Summer IB offer; Schroders Spring Insight; confidence 5 → 9.5/10.

Problem

Jefferies sees 5,000+ CVs for a few hundred spring seats. Without brand signal or insiders, Kyran was invisible; motivations lacked commercial edge; technicals cracked under pressure. He needed a forensic story rewrite, executive presence and insider intel—fast.

Solution

• BDC™ tailored applications → invites 0 → 3 elite firms.

• 6 STAR‑3™ loops → technical accuracy +28pp.

• PEAL‑3™ commercial drills → earnings‑driver clarity “excellent”.

• Gravity Technique → pace −30%, deeper register; presence praised by VP.

  
  

Result

Four months later Kyran left Jefferies’ AC with a Summer IB offer (direct Spring conversion). Schroders added a Spring Insight; Houlihan Lokey advanced him in FRG. Recruiters cited “laser‑focused deal insights” and “boardroom composure.”
