Investment Banking Recruiting — From Strategy to Offer Readiness
This package provides comprehensive, start-to-finish support for investment banking recruiting, from initial strategy through interview and offer readiness. It includes role targeting and recruiting strategy tailored to your background, full career narrative development, and guidance on positioning your experience effectively for banking roles. We work together on resume and LinkedIn review to ensure your profile clearly communicates impact, analytical rigor, and fit with investment banking expectations. The package also includes behavioral interview coaching, mock interviews with detailed feedback, and executive presence coaching to strengthen confidence and communication under pressure. Throughout the process, you receive ongoing support and accountability so you’re progressing with clarity, focus, and readiness at every stage of recruiting.
What's included
My coaching approach is structured, strategic, and deeply personalized. I work with clients who want clarity, confidence, and a practical plan not generic advice or surface-level feedback. We begin by understanding your background, goals, and constraints. Rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all path, I help you identify where your skills, experience, and interests realistically align within investment banking and finance. From there, we build a focused strategy that makes sense for you. Sessions are highly interactive and tailored to your needs. I challenge assumptions, refine how you communicate your story, and help you think more strategically about decisions and trade offs. My style is direct but supportive. I provide honest feedback, clear frameworks, and actionable guidance you can apply immediately. Between sessions, I emphasize reflection and execution so progress continues beyond our time together. What sets my coaching apart is the blend of strategy, storytelling, and performance. Clients don’t just leave with information, they leave with clarity, confidence, and a repeatable way of thinking that serves them beyond a single recruiting cycle.

Former Merrill Lynch Director | IB & Hiring Experience | Career Coach
I spent close to a decade at Merrill Lynch, rising to Director and working on IPOs, cross-border equity transactions, and billion-dollar capital raises. Today, I combine that firsthand investment banking experience with my work as a CTI-certified executive coach to help candidates trying to work at an investment bank navigate the recruiting process and position themselves to stand out. With an MBA in Finance from Northeastern University and experience spanning global finance, fintech, startups, and higher education, I understand what the industry demands and what it takes to build a competitive candidacy. I coach candidates on developing a strong profile, building technical knowledge, networking strategically, and preparing for interviews. My approach goes beyond résumé reviews and interview practice. I help candidates assess where they stand, identify gaps, develop a compelling story, and build a clear, actionable recruiting strategy. My goal is to help candidates approach investment banking recruiting with clarity, confidence, and a practical plan to maximize their opportunities.
