Land the Role, Not Just the Interview: A 3-Month Job Search With a Coach
When you know where you’re going, your materials are ready, and it’s time to get in front of the right people and close. Over 3 months, I’m in your corner from the first outreach message to the signed offer. If you haven’t worked with me before, we start with a short session to sharpen your story and check your materials before you go to market. Here’s what we’ll work through together: - Staying steady. Job searches bring rejection, silence, and self-doubt. We make room to talk about how you’re doing, not just what you’re doing, and I’ll help you reset when it gets hard. - Networking. Who to reach out to, what to say, and how to run informational interviews that turn into referrals. Your story, adapted. How you tell it for a recruiter screen, a hiring manager, and a senior leader. - Interview prep. Mock interviews on the questions you’ll actually get, including the awkward ones about your move. - Case and presentation coaching. Structured problem-solving, case interviews, and presentation rounds, from someone who interviewed candidates at McKinsey. - Offer strategy. Compare offers, figure out what’s negotiable, and negotiate without damaging the relationship.
What's included

If I haven’t heard from you in a while, I’ll check in Feedback on anything you send within 48 hours, excluding weekends Job searches have long quiet stretches and sudden rushes. I’ll keep you moving through the first and help you prepare quickly for the second.

I help mid-career pros make their next move | Lived 6 pivots | Guided 40+
Most people who come to me don’t lack advice. Some are still deciding where to go next. Others know exactly where they want to be, and can’t seem to get there. Either way, it can feel overwhelming. That’s what I help with: finding the right move, and then actually making it. I’ve helped 40+ professionals transition into consulting, finance, product/tech, and retail/e-commerce, among others. At Booth, I also prepared 70+ classmates for consulting interviews, with 25 offers. A few examples: - A Big 4 finance transformation lead about to apply for an MBA moved into strategy consulting without one, saving ~$200K - An engineer in a technical oil and gas role went to Darden on scholarship, then McKinsey - A private equity investor left to try entrepreneurship, realized a year later it wasn’t the fit, and joined Point72 - A Booth MBA six months into a stalled product search landed product roles at TinyCo, Dropbox and Salesforce Throughout my career, I have been a derivatives trader, a McKinsey consultant, a commodities trader, an e-commerce executive, and a sportswear CEO across five countries. Some of these I planned; most happened to me. I have taken the wrong job, turned down the right one, and lived with both long enough to recognize the difference. I am direct because I’ve watched too many good decisions get lost in polite hedging. MBA ADMISSIONS On the MBA side, I have helped people apply to top programs since graduating from Booth in 2010, where I also served as an alumni admissions interviewer. My clients have earned 300+ admits and $12M in scholarships across every T15 school, LBS, and INSEAD. A few results: - A Microsoft engineer: admitted to Stanford GSB, Wharton, Kellogg and Yale, with scholarships at Kellogg and Yale - A McKinsey alum at Careem: Stanford GSB and Columbia - A GE Healthcare professional: Booth, Yale and Tuck, all three with scholarships - A lawyer-turned-founder rejected by 10+ schools the year before: Darden, with a $160K scholarship A few lines from my testimonials. - “Amrit’s striking attribute lies in his unapologetic honesty, a rarity in this field.” Kripanshi J., Stanford GSB and Wharton - “Before you lose yourself in your version of a perfect world or self-doubt, he acts as a voice of sanity.” Wasim S., Tuck, LBS, Ross and NYU Poet and Quants Top 40 2023
