Darius Johnson
Founder of Laude
Hey 👋 , I'm Darius. I broke into Investment Banking @ Goldman Sachs during my Sophomore year summer after 170+ networking calls.
After successfully receiving a return offer from GS and a multitude of other investment banking offers, I chose to start my career in PE/VC at Insight Partners ($100Bn AUM) out of college ⚡️
In my recruiting journey I've received 25+ internship/full-time offers across industries like investment banking, consulting, private equity, venture capital, big tech, and startups. All with a non-traditional background and no friends or family in the industry. Since, I've helped several other students land offers at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Evercore, etc. by leveraging the same resources & frameworks I utilized to land interviews and get offers.
Now, I'm building a professional platform, Laude, to help hundreds of others break into competitive career paths. In just a month, Laude already has over 1,000 students in our ecosystem, a few hundred in our community, and a handful already landing offers. The purpose of our fellowships is to bring the most ambitious students together and give them access to the resources they need to transform the future of their careers.
I'm also a venture-backed startup founder, partner at a student run VC fund, and founder of a student run 6-figure hedge fund. Learn more about me 👉 I can't wait for you to join this fellowship! Let's get to work ⚡️

Laude Investment Banking Fellowship
5 live workshops + group prep sessions + office hours + downloadable templates
01
How to perfect the foundation of your application
We're going to show you (and give you) the best resources to optimize your application materials. Our resume, cover letter, linkedin, and application strategies will equip you with the foundation you need to become a competitive applicant. 💎
02
How to build effective networking funnels
Scale your networking on autopilot. We're going to show you how to identify the right professionals, leverage our templates for outreach, conduct successful calls, and build strong relationships over time. It's our unique funnel process that will accelerate your recruiting journey. 💡
03
How to ace the behavioral interviews
The behavioral part of the interview, more times than not, is how you separate yourself from others. The recruiting market is extremely competitive. Here, you'll learn how to craft a compelling story, answer the "why", position yourself as a candidate who is unique, and show you can add value to the company culture. 💼
04
How to master the accounting & valuation technicals
IB technicals are all about your high level understanding of core financial concepts. It's not about memorizing the same guides everyone else has access to. We're going to breakdown each of the key financial concepts you need to master and connect you with a curated group of peers to enhance your preparation for the interview. 🏦
05
How to win the offer (and stand out amongst the rest)
100,000 people apply to these IB roles every year. You need to learn how to leverage your background, story, skills, and experiences to stand out amongst the rest and win the offer. We're going to run through mock interviews, interview strategies, and interpersonal tactics to teach you how to rise above and win. 🏆
06
BONUS: Learn how to crush your internship and what skills/resources you'll need to get a return offer
We're going to throw in this free bonus to share with you what it takes to be a great investment banking intern, what you need to do to prepare for the internship, and the action plan ahead to get the return offer. ✅
