Hanie has helped clients get into these companies:
I have navigated the investment banking recruitment process successfully from multiple vantage points — as a candidate, an insider, and a coach. I previously worked as an Associate at Morgan Stanley and was the first-ever Graduate Analyst in Asia Pacific selected for the firm’s prestigious three-year rotational program, which had an offer rate of less than 0.1%. During this time, I gained hands-on experience across Investment Banking Advisory, Equities Sales & Trading, Global Financial Crimes Prevention, Operational Risk, and Compliance, giving me a holistic understanding of how top banks evaluate talent. In parallel, I was admitted to multiple M7 and T15 MBA programs — including Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, Columbia Business School, and Cornell Johnson — with over USD 200K in merit-based scholarships, and was selected as a Schwarzman Scholar from a global applicant pool of 5,000+ (~3% acceptance rate). This allows me to advise candidates who are pursuing both direct analyst/associate recruiting and MBA-to-banking pathways. I have since reviewed hundreds of investment banking resumes and coached dozens of traditional and non-traditional candidates to secure roles at top global banks. My coaching is grounded in first-hand industry experience, a clear understanding of hiring signals, and a structured framework that helps candidates position themselves competitively. I work with clients to develop a targeted recruitment strategy — from resume and technical preparation to networking and interview execution — to maximize their chances of breaking into top investment banking roles.

About Hanie
I'm Hanie, a professional MBA + Master's + Finance Career coach, and a Top 13 Graduate Admissions Coach on Leland. I am pursuing my MBA from Columbia Business School, and was selected as one of 150 Schwarzman Scholars worldwide, one of the most competitive fully funded graduate fellowships globally, with an annual acceptance rate below 3%. I previously spent several years at Morgan Stanley, where I reviewed hundreds of resumes and interviewed dozens of candidates. I've also been admitted to multiple M7 MBA programs and Ivy League schools — including Columbia Business School, Chicago Booth, and Cornell Johnson — with a total of over USD 250K in scholarships. I grew up with scarcity in Vietnam’s remote Central Highlands. At age 19, I earned a competitive, fully-funded merit scholarship from Hong Kong’s #1 university, with less than 1% acceptance rate. I packed my whole life, along with a dose of courage and big dreams, into one 21-kg suitcase and moved abroad alone. That bold decision profoundly changed my life forever. Since then, I have built extensive international study and work experience across 17+ countries in Asia, Europe, and North America, funded through some of the world’s most competitive leadership development programs, fellowships, and ambassador awards. I have reviewed hundreds of resumes and essays, conducted dozens of interviews, and coached over 80 clients to secure offers from M7 and T15 MBA programs, prestigious master’s scholarships, and finance internships. 🎯 Are you ready to turn your wildest dreams into reality? 🎯 Please schedule a trial session along with your resume & goals. My roster is filling up fast! I only work with 3-4 package clients per round to ensure high-quality, in-depth support. Let's tell your unique stories and land your dream offers together 🚀
Why do I coach?
Everyone has a unique story. However, most of us don’t spend enough time reflecting on what makes us truly exceptional, or how our past experiences shape our future endeavours. As a professional writer, a best-selling book co-author, and an experienced MBA / Master's admissions and investment banking career coach, I will help you craft the most compelling story and stand out from thousands of qualified applicants. Application is an extremely lonely process. Been there, done that - I know exactly what it’s like. I will always be in your corner to cheer you on while asking you hard questions to bring out the best narrative. I am here not just to coach but to empower you to overcome your limiting beliefs and unlock your full potential.
