Erik was incredibly supportive, highly communicative, and extremely knowledgeable about both case and behavioral interviews. He gave me targeted homework, followed up consistently on my progress, and created clear, actionable plans to help me improve. His guidance was precise and specific, especially in shaping how I structured my thinking, communication, and frameworks. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Kevin was incredibly helpful and added real value to my successful job application. His interview questions, tips and guidance made a big difference. I would definitely recommend him.

I've known Matt for almost 10 years. He has supported me on countless occasions with not only the right professional advice, but with a holistic view on how work decisions impact on the rest of everyone's life (e.g., family, well-being, friends etc.). He has a unique skill to blend these things together. He always keep the underlaying so-what related to impact and personal fulfilment which is also difficult to find in career coaches. Besides a strong strategic comprehension on career options for each particular profile, he is extremely pragmatic in leveraging his extensive personal connections to open the right doors / make the right introductions, so that both parties can benefit on future engagements, projects and opportunities. Needless to say his credentials and network (Oxford, BCG, Dalberg etc.), are huge and he never hesitates to share it if you are working with him. He has experience and understanding on how different market works (USA, EU, Asia), so he has been particularly helpful with me to guide me through career relocation. Highly recommend working with him and hope everyone can enjoy their journey together!

Sanjeev’s coaching was integral to my success in the case interview. His approach to structuring and thinking through cases helped me see problems in a completely different way and ultimately perform at my best. Thank you, Sanjeev!

Working with Kira was one of the best investments I made in my job search. I came in with experience but needed someone who could sharpen my approach and give me real insight into how the process actually works, not just interview tips, but what recruiters are actually thinking and doing at each stage. Kira delivered that and much more. She has a rare ability to demystify the recruitment process in a way that makes you feel informed and confident rather than reactive. She broke down networking in a way that genuinely shifted my perspective, dismantling assumptions I'd carried for years and replacing them with a framework that actually felt natural to execute. Her interview prep was concrete and tactical, with specific skills and framing to develop rather than vague advice. And throughout the entire process, she was generous with her time, warm, clear in her guidance, and a genuine partner every step of the way, celebrating wins alongside me and keeping momentum when things felt uncertain. I ended up as a finalist for two competing roles at Google and Meta, and accepted the Meta offer. If you want a coach who will truly meet you where you are, bring real insider perspective, and show up as a genuine advocate for your success, Kira is exceptional. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Brian was truly a spectacular coach. During my job search, not only did he offer his vast network to me right away, but he immediately pivoted from interview prep to offer negotiation and didn't miss a beat. Whatever I had a question on, Brian had a thoughtful answer based on his years and years of executive leadership. No question would I use Brian again!

I had a great experience working with Connor to prepare for product manager interviews. Even on short notice, he put together thoughtful, high-quality mock interviews that closely mirrored the real process. His feedback was clear and useful in sharpening my PM vocabulary and communication. I felt noticeably more confident going into interviews after our sessions.

Super personal and shows a desire to help!

Working with Derek was one of the most impactful coaching sessions I’ve had. I’ve worked with 10+ top coaches on Leland, and Derek stands out as one of the best. We met for a single session just 1–2 days before my final investment banking Superday for a full-time position, and it made a meaningful difference in my preparation and confidence going in—and, I believe, in the outcome. Derek is extremely thoughtful in how he structures his time. He allocated two full hours, and every minute was purposeful and efficient. He tailored the session precisely to my needs—covering behaviorals, technicals, a paper LBO, SaaS-specific questions relevant to my group, and a targeted “investment thesis” framework. We finished with a SaaS case interview that was directly aligned with what I expected to see and where I was least prepared. What stood out most was his ability to challenge me at exactly the right level. He pushed me hard without ever being discouraging, and his feedback was clear, actionable, and immediately useful. Even coming in well-prepared, I left with a long list of new concepts, sharper answers, and a much more structured approach. He also went out of his way to tailor everything to IB despite primarily coaching for PE, and was incredibly personable while staying disciplined on time. I came out of the session exhausted, but more confident and significantly better prepared, and went on to perform strongly across four Superday interviews shortly after. I genuinely believe Derek helped me go beyond just getting across the finish line—he helped me perform at a level that left no doubt in any of the interviewers’ minds. Given the level of insight and preparation he brings, he is significantly underpriced relative to other top coaches. I would strongly recommend Derek to anyone preparing for IB or PE recruiting—especially if you want a session that can materially change your outcome and need a time-sensitive, high-impact coach.

I worked with Ryan over multiple sessions across a two-month period as I prepared for interviews at an elite boutique, and ultimately landed the role. Over that time I made a ton of progress, both in sharpening technical nuances and making sure I had my bases fully covered on the behavioral side. By the end, I didn't just feel confident about passing the interviews, I felt like someone who could actually jump right in and start doing the job. What sets Ryan apart is how deliberate he is about equipping you with the right tools for each stage of the process. He's excellent at identifying the most effective prep approaches, study materials, and frameworks so that your preparation is targeted and efficient rather than scattershot. This made a huge difference when it came to my technical and modeling assessments. He also ran excellent mock interviews, rigorous and realistic, and was very thoughtful about game-planning for specific interviewers, which proved invaluable in later rounds. As the process progressed, he helped me connect with high-value contacts for more targeted preparation when it mattered most. On a personal level, Ryan is highly professional and will hold you to a high standard, but he's also genuinely supportive and encouraging. This made the whole experience not just productive but actually enjoyable. Highly recommend.
