The Industry: Understanding the World of Wall Street

If you’re serious about breaking into high finance — or leveling up once you’re in — this is the course that gives you the edge. 

We don’t just teach technicals; we connect the dots across Wall Street so you actually understand how the industry works and how to stand out.

Whether you're prepping for interviews, starting on the desk, or making a career move, this is the roadmap Wall Street insiders wish they had.

  • Part 1: Laying the Foundation: 

    We kick off by breaking down the entire ecosystem of Wall Street — from the buy side vs. sell side to how firms decide between issuing debt vs. equity. You'll learn the basics of corporate finance, including how bonds and stocks actually work, and the role investment banks play in M&A and capital raising. We use real-world examples (like Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods) to teach concepts like leverage, valuation, and how bankers model deals in Excel.

  • Part 2: Inside the Buy Side
    You’ll dive deep into how institutional investors like hedge funds, private equity firms, and endowments allocate capital — and what it actually means to invest based on risk appetite, liquidity needs, and investment horizon. We explain frameworks like the Yale Endowment Model and walk through strategies employed by equity long/short hedge funds, private credit shops, and venture capital firms. You'll also learn about key distinctions like real vs. fast money, the use of leverage, and how investors hedge risk across asset classes.
  • Part 3: Advanced Concepts and Real-World Applications
    We connect everything back to how financial markets work in practice — including how corporations use derivatives to hedge debt, how mortgage investors manage convexity risk, and how pension funds structure their portfolios. You'll learn foundational valuation tools like time value of money and compounding, and gain insight into performance metrics like Sharpe ratios. Finally, we demystify private markets — from growth equity to LBOs — and show how private equity and private credit strategies are reshaping the financial landscape.
