About Michael
I walked out of my Centerview superday knowing I had the offer — not because I was the smartest candidate, but because I had figured out what actually mattered in the room. That became the foundation for everything I've built since. I led UChicago's Investment Banking Group as Technical Lead and helped dozens of candidates land offers before founding OFFERGOBLIN, the adaptive prep platform with 5,000+ verified interview questions from every major bank. I wrote the industry's open-access textbook on IB technicals. My full-time job — my only job — is figuring out what gets people offers and building systems around it.
Why do I coach?
Most coaches fit sessions in between deal work or their day job. This is all I do. No busy season. No distractions. I've seen every failure mode, I know exactly where the bar is, and my only focus is getting you over it.
