Here is a transcript of our interview with Sameer.<\/strong><\/p>\n After a hardwork of few months, I got 97.82 %ile in CAT. I didn\u2019t get interview calls from any of the old IIMs. All the calls were from Baby and New IIMs. The college authorities asked me to start with next batch, since I was left much behind. I was in despair. I had 10 months in hand for the next session to begin. I had heard enough about the CFA exam.

Their classes especially are very practical, unlike those theoretical lectures that I\u2019ve experienced during my MBA.<\/p>\n They focus on all the nitty-gritties of the field, which is exactly what the interviewers ask.<\/p>\n Most Importantly, they have well-established contacts in the Investment Banking Industry. Their placement team continuously follows up with the students and HRs to facilitate placements.<\/p>\n I got the first call from Deloitte (Business Valuations Team) through Wallstreet School\u2019s placement cell and converted it.
