Try it: pick an answer.
745interview questions with worked answers
7career tracks, from banking to hedge funds
19financial centres with their own packs
10minutes a day is enough to build the habit
Everything an interviewer can ask, in one app.
Built around how people actually get offers: steady daily reps, then practice saying the answer out loud under time pressure.
Mock interviews you answer out loud
The app reads the question, you answer by voice, and you get a scorecard straight away: key points covered, structure, pace and filler words. Your phone does the scoring, so nothing is uploaded.
Packs for your career and your city
Private equity, capital markets, sales and trading, equity research, asset management and hedge funds each get their own track. Add sector packs and a pack for the city you're applying to.
The whole syllabus, one tap away
See every unit and lesson on one page, what you've finished and what comes next. Streaks and a daily goal keep you coming back.

Questions about the app.
When will the iPhone and Android apps be out?
They're in development. Leave your email above and we'll tell you the day they launch. The web app has the same lessons and mock interviews today.
Will I lose my progress when I switch to the store app?
Right now your progress is saved in the browser on your phone, so use the same phone and browser each day. Don't clear your browser data or use private browsing, or the progress goes with it.
Do I need a finance background?
No. The path starts with what a balance sheet is and builds up to LBOs. If you already know the basics, jump tests let you skip ahead.
How does the mock interview score me without AI?
Each question has a marking guide with the points a banker expects to hear. Your phone turns your answer into text and checks it against that guide, then measures your pace and filler words. The AI interviewer with follow-up questions is part of Desk AI, which is coming soon.
Is the app included with the courses?
Yes. Mandate Core includes Desk for 3 months. The 8-Week Accelerator and Mandate Private include Desk AI for 12 months.
Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time, and you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
