Why pay for this when ChatGPT is free?

Because ChatGPT is a generalist; Cook'd is a specialist. ChatGPT is optimized to be polite and conversational. Cook'd is optimized to get you hired. We don't just generate text; we grade your answers against the actual technical scorecards used at top-tier banks (GS, JPM, MS). ChatGPT will tell you your DCF explanation is 'clear.' Cook'd will tell you that you missed the mid-year convention and forgot to justify your terminal growth rate. One makes you feel good; the other gets you the job.

Is this actually going to get me an offer?

We don't sell magic; we sell an unfair advantage. Most candidates practice with static lists or friends who don't know the technicals. Cook'd users enter Superdays having already faced—and mastered—the specific 'deal experience' questions that trip everyone else up. We can't control the interviewer, but we can make sure you are the most over-prepared candidate in the room.

Can I share my account with my roommate?

Technically yes, strategically no. Cook'd creates a personalized learning curve based on your weak points. If you let a friend use your profile, you corrupt your own data, meaning the AI will stop adapting to your specific needs. For the price of an entree, don't dilute your own training data.
