Welcome back! As you saw on Sunday, our HYH Community is now live. It takes a moment to join and it’s extremely easy to join via mobile. This is going to be the spot for career growth content & networking, plus credit market news as well. Think of it as the FinTwit/Finance Meme community, but controlled by Harry and you all, not by Algos.
Anyways, I have an exciting announcement I wanted to send across to everyone who reads the HYH Newsletter for free.
We are adding the Banking Playbook to the HYH Premium library. This is a 246 page deck covering in the ins and outs of investment banking recruiting.
I talk to hiring managers and VP+ professionals constantly and the Street has conveyed to me that Analyst quality has to get better. There’s some rockstar analysts and interns; but a lot need to improve ASAP to receive return offers. And in many cases, that means not being totally dependent on AI.
What’s been so important about HYH Premium, is that beyond providing credit & distressed research writeups, we want to provide educational content that tools up the next generation.
It’s becoming clear that you can’t ChatGPT your way into a successful finance career either. There are still limitations with what Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT can give you and you need context on what matters and what doesn’t from professionals who have worked first hand in the industry.
I don’t want people paying 5 digits or part of their salary to Investment Banking Coaches. I think that’s a stale and unhelpful business model. My positioning is educational content content that costs $100-$200/year so it’s accessible for everyone.
So that’s why the addition of Banking Playbook is so awesome - right now, a year-long HYH Premium subscription costs $123.25 (this will change next week).
HYH Premium has had 650+ customers since 2024, as our value prop has played its part in helping people flourish as investment professionals. By combining a standalone resource that could retail much higher into the existing subscription, we think we’re providing a ridiculous value prop.
So what is the Banking Playbook? Here’s the rundown:
With 246 meticulously crafted slides, this guide delves deep into every aspect of investment banking recruitment, from networking strategies to acing technical interviews.
Compiled by in collaboration with current investment bankers at bulge bracket and elite boutique banks, that came from both target and non target schools, the Banking Playbook reveals proven tricks and strategies that have led countless candidates to success.
What You'll Gain:
In-Depth Understanding: Master the nuances of the recruitment process, from application to offer.
Technical Proficiency: Enhance your technical and analytical skills with step-by-step guidance.
Behavioral Insights: Learn how to effectively communicate your story and fit within a firm's culture.
The investment banking landscape is evolving, and the demand for well-prepared candidates has never been higher.
Should I have raised the price of HYH Premium prior to this email? Probably.
But instead, I’m going to keep this offer up until Tuesday. So this is your window.
Not next week, not Black Friday. Right Now.
Remember, here’s a look at my existing offerings. This includes the following:
This also includes: City Guides, where we’ve written about the funds based in several cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, the Carolinas, Austin, Dallas, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and Atlanta.
Lastly, these also include business case studies and restructuring case studies. These include deep-dive pieces on Saks, Forever21, Brooklyn Mirage, and more!
