Has anyone heard about the ibanking bootcamp? Does this really help you resume and do you gain good knowledge from attending one of these retreats? I know they are counted as credits for CFA and CPA’s but I just wonder how people in the industry view it?
How is it counted as credit for CFA? Do you get to skip level 1 by attending attenting the boot camp?
man you can really make a killing these days starting up a bullsh1t financial analyst bootcamp huh let’s try to come up with some creative names EQUITUS MAXIMUS TRAINING
No but I believe after you are a CFA or CPA you receive credits or something as part of continuing education? ex. For my controller to continue to be a CPA he had to attend a certain amt of continuing education classes each yr, and each class he took counted as CPE credit.

Nobody cares if you’ve done i-banking bootcamp, but if you can learn some useful skills from it, then that’s what really matters. Putting “bootcamp” on your resume, however, is just silly unless you were actually in the service or armed forces.
ya putting it on your resume would look dumb but the things you learn in there might help you perform better on an interview (technical Qs)
actually the actual name is ibanking training but if you go to the website they describe it as bootcamp, so my resume would have ibanking training. Im thinking its a good idea because it takes what I learned in the CFA books and allows me to apply that towards modeling and valuing a co. Cause my current job dosent do that.

if you put it as ibanking training - it will sound like you got training from an actual ibank, but when you start listing work experience and there’s no analyst/associate stint, it will look fishy
i’ll make sure to describe what actual training it is, and where it came from. I just want them to be able to know that I have a little practice creating models and then explain how I will be able to apply those skills to the job.
the guy just said in the L2 forum that the program costs around $2,000 and you can’t even put it on your resume i would just buy a couple of good textbooks instead
why cant you put it on your resume?
i dunno i’d feel pretty weird putting “investment banking boot camp” on my resume i mean you can accentuate your capacity to perform all the required tasks, but at that point you might as well have learned it from an $80 textbook
I took this class. It is a bit pricey. If you have an extra $2K lying around, go for it. I took it because I was looking at going into M&A and almost switched. Then the economy exploded in my face and I stayed in my current job. If you are looking to take this class to help you get into I-Banking, it probably won’t help in this environment.
I bet spending that $2000 on lunch/dinner with MD will have a higher expected payoff than this ibanking boot camp.
Hey philip.platt, You said you took it, how was it? I know its not good to take now because of the economy but when the economy gets better, will it be worth it? I think 2k is alot and I know some other organizations allow a self study program for alot less. But if the retreat is all hype and I can learn it myself, should I do that?

I think you should order some kind of self study package if you really want to learn it. I hear some people say Wall St. Prep packages are good, but have not used them personally.
