Exclusive 10-Week Mentorship

Unlock Swiss Investment Banking

A clear, structured path into Swiss IB, guided by someone who has been on the other side of the table.

What This Program Is

Comprehensive mentorship with end-to-end support for breaking into Investment Banking in Switzerland.

Ten weeks of private 1:1 work covering the Swiss IB landscape, networking strategy, application calibration, and every stage of the interview process.

You get all NeverBanked courses included, both prior coaching programs (Get the Interview and Nail the Interview), and ongoing WhatsApp support between sessions. The full system, structured around your situation.

Most candidates fall short because the Swiss market is small, opaque, and rewards specificity. This program closes that gap.

What You Will Achieve

By the end of the 10 weeks, you will have:

Swiss Market Mastery

SMI, recent M&A and ECM deals, ownership structures, key databases (Zefix, Takeover Board, SIX).

IB Landscape Clarity

Firms, teams, hiring patterns, and language sensitivities mapped.

Calibrated Application Stack

CV, narrative, and pitch sharpened to Swiss IB standards.

Working Networking System

Outreach producing real informational calls, not cold spam.

Technical Fluency

Accounting, valuation, DCF, and a full LBO modeling exercise.

Practical Tracking Tools

Trackers and frameworks you keep using long after the mentorship ends.

The IB Landscape sheet was one of the most valuable things so far. I had no real insight as to which teams existed — what they do, their focus, their strengths.

Significant investment into my storyline, motivation and technicals. Very valuable having Nico as a sounding board.

I would like to sincerely thank you for your IB course — with which I made it to the UBS assessment center.

The CV and LinkedIn tips were immediately actionable and helped me understand how recruiters read applications.

Just got an interview invite for UBS Frankfurt. Thank you so much.

It's nice to track all your networking and application efforts in one organised place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this only for candidates targeting Switzerland?

The program is designed and optimized around Swiss IB teams, because that is where the direct experience lies. Many of the principles, networking, positioning, interview execution, transfer to other European markets, but the core intelligence is Swiss-focused. Non-Swiss candidates are assessed case by case during the application process.

What stage should I be at to join?

The program works best for candidates in the early-to-mid stages of their recruiting journey. You know you want IB, but need a clear path and direct support. If you have already secured an internship and need performance coaching, Secure the Offer is the better fit.

How much time do I need to commit each week?

Expect 2–3 hours per week for calls, preparation, assignments, and networking execution. The mentorship is intensive but manageable alongside studies or work.

What if I have already purchased other NeverBanked products?

You should have received a personal coupon code equal to your previous purchase value. Applied automatically via email after any purchase. If you cannot find it, reach out to nico@neverbanked.com.

Do you guarantee I will get an offer?

No, and that is intentional. Outcomes depend on your effort, timing, and factors outside anyone's control. What I guarantee is direct, honest mentorship based on real experience recruiting and evaluating candidates in Swiss IB. The goal is to materially increase your odds by giving you clarity, structure, and continuous feedback.

Can I join if I did not do coaching at earlier stages?

Yes. Prior coaching is not required. All courses and both coaching programs (Get the Interview + Nail the Interview) are included. Any missing foundations are covered as part of the 10 weeks.

Is there a refund policy?

Unlock Swiss IB is application-only and non-refundable once onboarding has begun. The 15-minute fit & clarity call exists specifically to confirm alignment before any commitment is made on either side.
