What Our Alumni Say About Meritshot

Real stories from professionals who transformed their careers through our programs.

I knew from the beginning that getting into Investment Banking wasn't going to happen just by completing a course and adding a certificate to my resume. The deal-based case studies were probably my favourite part. Working through them forced me to think beyond formulas and understand the reasoning behind a transaction.

One interview. One whiteboard. And suddenly, I could see how much I'd improved. Meritshot's 1:1 sessions helped me work specifically on those gaps, while the real-world projects gave me solid examples to discuss during interviews. The salary jump was great, but honestly, seeing my confidence change was the bigger win.

What surprised me most about the Investment Banking program was how quickly the learning moved from basic concepts to actual deal-style analysis. In just nine months, I went from understanding finance mostly from a textbook perspective to being much more comfortable discussing valuation, modelling, and transactions.

I compared a lot of Investment Banking programs before joining Meritshot. What stood out was simple theory, actual modelling practice, and interview preparation in one place. No unnecessary fluff. I learned the concepts, built the models, practised for interviews, and felt much more prepared for the actual job hunt.

I never planned on making a move from IT into finance so quickly. The financial modelling sessions gave me a completely different way of looking at numbers, while the live labs made me actually work through models rather than just watch someone else build them. The switch happened in less than eight months.

I thought mock interviews were going to be the easy part. I was very wrong. The smaller batch size meant I couldn't just sit quietly in the background and disappear into a crowd. By the time I started preparing for actual interviews, I wasn't nearly as nervous about the process.

I honestly didn't realize how much a pitchbook could matter until I had to create one myself. The pitchbook creation labs changed that for me. After working through the process, I started understanding the logic behind the presentation rather than simply copying a format.

I didn't expect the Data Science program to take me from the basics all the way to Agentic AI — but that's exactly what happened. The datasets weren't just random examples — they actually gave me enough room to explore, make mistakes, and figure things out myself.

The DCF and M&A case studies made a huge difference during my interviews. Instead of memorizing technical answers, I could explain the logic behind the numbers and deals. That practical exposure gave me the confidence to move into Financial Advisory at Deloitte.

Started with zero practical finance knowledge. Built models from scratch. Struggled. Practised. Improved. Eventually, financial modelling stopped feeling intimidating and started feeling natural.
