Priyal’s Career Coaching Qualifications
Experience level: Manager
If you're thinking about a career in investment banking, private equity, or venture capital, you're in the right place. And if you're thinking about a pivot from finance into tech, you're in the right place too. Since my freshman year of undergrad, I landed IB internships every year, which led to a full-time offer as a Technology Investment Banking Analyst at Credit Suisse NY (2020–2022). Along the way, I earned interviews with top bulge brackets and elite boutiques including Lazard, Moelis, Goldman Sachs, and J.P. Morgan. I completed a sophomore-year internship through Wells Fargo's Sophomore IB program, and before that, secured an IB internship as a freshman that I continued while a full-time student. After my analyst years, I moved into software growth equity at Serent Capital in SF, so I can help current IB analysts navigate on-cycle recruiting into tech growth and private equity firms. Post-investing, I joined a high-growth Series D startup to help build out their corporate development and VC team, and I've since landed offers at top AI firms focused on finance, corporate development, and AI strategy. I can help candidates make the pivot into careers in tech and AI. I can help with the following and more: Career planning/transitioning, resume review, networking strategy, salary negotiation, behavioral/situational interviews, technical & case interviews, AI-specific interview questions, and more
