Bankwright · for students aiming at IB

Fall recruiting. A case interview. The question: what happens to the bank's balance sheet if… The lectures gave you formulas. They did not give you the mechanics.

Live the deals by hand — before the interview

In Bankwright you do not memorize definitions — you post M&A, LBO and securitization on the balance sheet yourself. In a case, answers like that separate an offer from we will call you back — and excitement from cramming.

the first 3 chapters free. No account and no card — start between classes.

Your progress lives in the cloud: start on a phone, finish at a desk. Lose connection mid-level and the level still finishes — nothing you entered is lost, and it syncs the moment you are back.

The total did not change
Case interview · question 1Chapter 5 · investment banker

The bank sold 100 of government bonds and made a loan of 100. What happens to the balance sheet?

Before the answer: assets 300 million — government bonds 200 and the rest. Liabilities and equity 300 million — deposits 250 and equity 50.

A real level from chapter 5 — the format of a case, not a retelling of a lecture.

What changes

What will set you apart from the other two hundred resumes

Mechanics, not terms

There are two hundred candidates who know the definition of an LBO. A candidate who has posted an LBO on the balance sheet and seen where it breaks stands out by the third minute.

The cases of the latest collapses

SVB, Evergrande, Archegos — you lived through them by hand instead of reading the headlines. Asked why SVB fell, you answer from the balance sheet, not from the news.

Excitement instead of cramming

Preparation stops being hard labor: it is a game with progress and levels. Twenty minutes between classes — and one more deal is posted.

Your route

Four steps to fall recruiting

The full game is 16 chapters. But four blocks lead to a case interview, and they run one after another.

Right before the interview: go through the SVB and Archegos cases with the mentor — they get asked, and you have been through them by hand.

The AI mentor

A coach that will not let you copy

  • It will refuse to solve it for you. The anti-spoiler rule is held by a blocking test: the mentor leads with questions, the way a good interviewer does.
  • It does not praise what is wrong — the interview will not praise it either. A mistake is called a mistake, with a reference to the level.
  • It answers from the course corpus — 435 thousand tokens; what is not in the program it says plainly.

MentorNo — I will not be next to you at the interview. But here is quick help: in this LBO structure, whose balance sheet does the debt land on? Answer in one word and you will see why your step 3 does not tie out. That is level 6.2, and you passed it yesterday.

Straight talk: this is not for you if…

  • you are preparing for the CFA or FRM — we do not cover the exam syllabus and do not certify;
  • you need crib sheets for a test — here it is mechanics, not cheat notes;
  • you are looking for trading signals — there are no investment recommendations at all.
