Steven’s Investment Banking Qualifications
Experience level: Associate
I’m qualified to coach because I’ve successfully navigated multiple competitive recruiting processes and made deliberate career moves across top-tier firms and I know how to teach that process to others. I began my career in FIG investment banking at UBS, receiving a return offer from the NYC summer analyst program and spending 1.5 years as a full-time analyst. I then transitioned to Hunter Point Capital, a private equity firm focused on GP stakes and NAV-based credit, where I completed a two-year associate program. Most recently, I joined Evercore as an experienced investment banking associate, following a targeted and efficient lateral process. Across these roles, I’ve earned offers from strong firms in both investment banking and private equity, which has given me a clear, practical understanding of how recruiting actually works - not just technically, but strategically. I’ve been on both sides of the table, including serving as an Evercore Superday interviewer, and I regularly help candidates refine resumes, master technicals, prepare for LBO and case interviews, and develop compelling behavioral narratives. My coaching focuses on helping people move through recruiting effectively and efficiently, avoiding wasted effort, focusing on what truly matters, and positioning themselves to win offers, because that’s exactly what I’ve done myself.

About Steven
Evercore Investment Banker | Former Private Equity Investor Hi, I’m Steven. I’m currently an investment banker at Evercore and previously worked in private equity. I’ve always enjoyed tutoring and mentoring; it's something I started doing back in high school and have continued throughout my career. Today I work with candidates pursuing investment banking and private equity roles, helping them sharpen their technical skills, improve how they talk through deals, and get comfortable with the types of questions that come up in real interviews. At Evercore, I’m also involved in interviewing candidates, so I have a clear view into what top banks are actually looking for. A big part of my coaching focuses not just on getting the technical answer right, but on communicating your thinking the way interviewers want to hear it. Whether you’re breaking into investment banking, preparing for accelerated recruiting, or trying to stand out in interviews, the goal is simple: help you walk into interviews confident and prepared. Happy to connect.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I’ve always enjoyed teaching and mentoring. That started in high school, where I tutored middle school students preparing for selective high school entrance exams, and continued through college via business organizations. Over time, that mentoring mindset became a natural part of how I work day to day. My investment banking–specific coaching began when a close friend in an MBA program introduced me to his classmates who were looking for help with mock interviews. They responded well to my practical, interviewer-focused approach, and word spread from there. Coaching allows me to combine a long-standing passion for teaching with my professional experience to help candidates feel prepared, confident, and competitive.
