What analysts are saying

Before Breaking In, I had firm names in a Notes app, contacts in a spreadsheet, and follow-ups in my head. Now I see every firm, every contact, every follow-up in one place. I genuinely wish I'd had this during recruiting — it would have saved me dozens of dropped balls.

Analyst at Evercore

I told Donna about a coffee chat and she auto-logged the contact, set a two-week follow-up, and added it to my Google Calendar. That used to take me five minutes of data entry. Now it takes one sentence. I use her after every single call.

Analyst at Evercore

The question bank is better than anything I used to prep. 2,000+ questions across every category, AI-graded with follow-up drills on weak spots. I recommend it to every analyst candidate I mentor now — the LBO and M&A sections alone are worth it.

Analyst at Moelis

Ten bucks a month for the tracker, question bank, interview-style practice, and Donna is a no-brainer. The trial gave me enough time to actually feel the workflow — by day four I was hooked. The community chat rooms are a nice bonus too.

Yes — every new account gets 14 days of full access with $5 of Donna credits. No credit card required to start. You'll see a reminder in the app as the trial winds down.

To keep using Breaking In, subscribe for $10/month. Your $5 of Donna credits refills at the start of each billing cycle. If you don't subscribe, you'll lose access to Donna, interview-style practice, and adding new firms — your existing data stays safe.

Donna and interview-style practice cost credits, and $5 of your subscription goes to Claude API tokens each month. If you run out, top up with $10, $25, or $50 — top-up credits stack with your monthly allotment and carry over as long as your subscription stays active.

Yes. Cancel from Settings → Plan & Billing in one click (Stripe customer portal). You keep access until the end of the current billing period, and no charge after that.

No. Sign up with email, verify, and you're in for 14 days. We only ask for a card when you're ready to subscribe.

Donna is the AI copilot inside the app — she tracks your pipeline, drafts outreach, preps you for specific firms, logs interviews from your calendar, and answers recruiting questions. She's grounded in your data and the firm intel we've built.

Subscriptions are billed monthly and you can cancel before your next renewal to avoid the next charge. Unused top-up credits aren't refundable in cash, but they stay in your account as long as your subscription is active. Email help@breaking-in.io if something went wrong and we'll make it right.

Yes — we partner with campus clubs on discount codes. If your club has one, enter it on the signup page. If not, email help@breaking-in.io about your group and we'll figure something out.

Recruiting season doesn't wait.

Your pipeline, your prep, your data. 14 days free, then $10/month. Built for people who are serious about breaking in.
