I am grateful to Mike for his guidance on my career progression, as well as his work on my resume and LinkedIn profile. I chose to work with Mike because of his deep banking industry expertise. His support and insight made the process seamless. If you're looking to make a career move, especially in banking, I highly recommend Mike—he understands the industry and truly delivers results.

I connected with Mike when he had some questions pertaining to a client he was working with that he thought I could help with. I was so impressed by his thoroughness that when I decided to attempt a different career path, I sought his services. He helped establish my online presence and brand in a way that no AI program could have. In less than 24 hours my partner and I were contacted by multiple contacts to discuss partnership opportunities. I will definitely seek his advice in the future when the need arises.

Mike helped me get to the greatest company in the world, Amazon (AWS)! Mike helps you figure out your career direction so you save time. I wanted to network with professionals that had certain technical certifications. Speaking to these professionals at the right firms helped my job search. Mike arranged coffee chats. He saves you time, a commodity more valuable than money.

Mike helped me land my dream job with Google! After 23 years with the same company, I needed a change but didn't know where to start. Mike helped me explore other careers by setting up coffee chats with friendly professionals.

Within 2 months of working with Mike, I moved from Wall Street to Salesforce. If you need to pivot, he is your guy. I was a very successful sales trader for 20 years. However, the landscape of Wall Street changed, and my next move was not going to be the same role since fewer and fewer exist. Mike and I worked on identifying the different types of jobs and industries that would be a fit.

I got the job as a senior risk manager at Mizuho in NYC and am thrilled. Thank you for your coaching before the interview - I was getting frustrated after being close on a number of other opportunities and with the onset of COVID-19. Your advice and coaching was just the bump, change of perspective, slightly new technique, and encouragement I needed at a difficult time.

Mike provided me with spot-on advice in evaluating different Global IT career options. He determined my worth in the marketplace, helped me negotiate a better offer, and guided me on a clear path. Wow!

I was looking to quickly get back to a top named Wall Street Bank. After working with Michael, I am now a Director at MUFG Securities. Mike was extremely helpful in aiding me to think strategically about my career. He has a great mind that helped me see the big picture then zoom in on tangible possibilities. He is also part of the select group of coaches from the Columbia Career Coaches Network and he is blessed by Columbia University.

Mike has been invaluable in my transition from Goldman Sachs to FinTech. I'm now the Chief Accounting Officer at DriveWealth, a pioneering D-round FinTech specializing in fractional equity investing. Mike's strategic customized plan is well thought out and highly effective.

Karthik's coaching was very helpful in clearly identifying skill gaps and areas of improvement. He made a structured plan for our sessions. He also responded promptly to my queries and was flexible in scheduling sessions. More than anything, his honest feedback helped me understand where I needed to put in more work and how to best approach challenging areas in my prep.
