Neal Bhandari

Interviews and applications are storytelling, and storytelling is what I love most. I actually enjoy interviewing, and I've built my career around finding the narrative thread in a product, a strategy, or a person, then shaping it into something compelling. Coaching lets me do that for people instead of products. My own path to Harvard, Google, and NVIDIA was full of confusion. I didn't know anyone in these spaces, and I had no map for how to navigate the applications, interviews, or unwritten rules that seemed to matter so much. I want to be the person I didn't have: someone who can shortcut that confusion and show you what actually matters, especially in a landscape this competitive. Most of the time, what you need is already there. My job is to help pull it out, build a plan around it, and work backwards from your goal until it happens.
