Illustrative targets, not a claim of placement.

One strategy, executed seriously, to get in where everyone else is aiming.

Every internship I landed came through networking and direct emails, not online applications. That's the strategy we build with you.

What we actually do

One plan, built around your profile. Not a template.

Where you are and what you're chasing change everything, so nothing here is off the shelf. We start with an honest look at your profile, then build the whole plan around your target: the timeline, the story, the firms and the work.

Spring & internships

Getting in early

First and penultimate years going for spring weeks and summer internships. We build the profile, the story and the timeline before the deadlines do.

Full-time & graduate

Landing the seat

Final years and graduates chasing full-time analyst and off-cycle roles. We sharpen a profile that's already in motion and get you through the final rounds.

Every plan starts the same way: an honest look at where you actually stand.

The part you can't Google

The internet gives you the average answer. We give you the honest one.

The judgment and the real material that actually decide the offer, from people who sat where you want to sit: the things a forum half-remembers and an AI can only guess at.

  • Real interview feedback

    Actual write-ups from candidates who sat the rounds, not a forum's fuzzy memory.

  • Real case studies

    The genuine cases and assessments firms have used, worked through with you.

  • Whether an offer is a trap

    Which “good name” is a launchpad and which quietly kills careers in two years.

  • An honest read on your chances

    Told straight, early, so you spend your effort where it can actually pay off.

What we don't do: teach technicals like DCFs. That's already everywhere. We cover the part that isn't written down.

The difference

Most coaching rations your access. We don't.

No capped package of calls, no waiting for your next slot. You get us directly on WhatsApp, and we stay with you until we think you're ready.

  • Access

    What you usually get: Booked slots and office hours

    What OneStrategy gives you: Direct WhatsApp with us, any time

  • How long

    What you usually get: Until the hours run out

    What OneStrategy gives you: Until we think you're ready

  • Your coach

    What you usually get: A random coach you've never met, by the hour

    What OneStrategy gives you: The founder, end to end, plus analysts on the desk today

  • Getting interviews

    What you usually get: Mass-applying online and waiting for portals

    What OneStrategy gives you: One strategy: networking and direct emails

  • Material

    What you usually get: Pre-recorded videos and generic frameworks

    What OneStrategy gives you: Real interview feedback, case studies and mock interviews

  • Feedback

    What you usually get: Praise, because praise sells

    What OneStrategy gives you: Straight feedback on your CV and profile, even when it stings

Who coaches you

Led by one coach. Backed by a bench that's still on the desk.

You work mainly with the founder. When the specifics matter, an advisory CV, a buy-side process, a markets round, you get time with someone who does exactly that job right now and will tell you how it really works.

Portrait of Antoine, founder

The founder

Antoine, founder.

I didn't start at a big bank. My first internship was at a small software company nobody has heard of. Two internships later, at Lincoln International and Rothschild, I was at J.P. Morgan.

In between, one single strategy: stop waiting for application portals to open and betting on LinkedIn like everyone else, and go after my interviews myself, through networking and email, one company after another. Every one of my internships came from that.

I started OneStrategy to pass on exactly that: the CV, the target list and the method that make the difference.

  • Non-target to J.P. Morgan
  • Lincoln International & Rothschild
  • London & Paris
  • ~40 candidates coached
