IB and PE interviews are an ALL OUT FIGHT AND UPHILL BATTLE! The one question everyone should consider when they select a coach is “Can I see this person being in “the ring” with me and in my corner as I battle out these interviews / prep?” People need someone they can come back to after they’ve been beaten up a little and get real-time feedback and ultimate support. Connor is THAT guy. Trust me. Connor has been an excellent coach for me during IB and PE interviews and career navigation. Connor possesses many great qualities as a coach and investor. He is very smart, thoughtful, decisive, not easily emotionally swayed, and has pure intentions to help others!

Connor spent a lot of time with me to help me prepare for PE interviews. He has a lot of knowledge and connections that he used to set me up for success. He helped me frame my investment thesis, work on my story, gave me technical resources, and mock interviewed me. I was able to land an offer at a megafund and I largely attribute that to Connor’s help.

Karla is dedicated to diversity and unlocks the path to a top tier MBA and investment banking career for candidates who put in the work. She is well connected and experienced which ensures her advice is tailored and specific to your circumstances.

Karla has provided me with invaluable career advice that I carry with me throughout my academic and professional career. She has edited countless versions of my resume, college application essays and internship applications across our mentor-mentee relationship. She has provided me with the confidence and strategies to be a strong and competitive candidate during interviews and the job application process. As a first generation college student, she provided me with the tools and resources I needed to successfully transition from high school to college. Whenever I had a question or needed to talk out future academic or career plans, Karla used her free time to meet in-person or chat on the phone at a moment's notice! Karla's resourcefulness and passion demonstrates her determination to help others and see them succeed. It has been a pleasure having her as a mentor for five plus years and I wouldn't be where I am today without her coaching and advice.

I’ve had numerous conversations with Ryan over the last few years as I began recruiting for investment banking, working in IB and now working within software private equity. Ryan’s insights are genuine, thoughtful and invaluable as I considered multiple different regions and verticals. Ryan has been coaching me for years and I continue to reach out to him as my career progresses!

As a former school captain for both UChicago and Harvard at JPM, Karla is a highly sought-after investment banking career coach. Despite her busy schedule, she makes herself available to applicants from other schools and has a particular expertise in West Coast tech recruiting. In addition to her impressive knowledge of the industry, Karla is also a strong advocate for women in banking and excels at helping her clients craft compelling narratives for why they want to pursue a career in investment banking. I have personally worked with Karla and can attest to her dedication, professionalism, and exceptional coaching abilities. She truly goes above and beyond to help her clients succeed!

Not only does Danny know all of the intricacies of the McKinsey recruiting process, but he knows how to best push and inspire you to be at your best in the application and interview process. Danny coached me on office selection, resume details, and interview prep.

Karla helped many people navigate through recruiting and onboarding at JPM team. She's always been very involved in the tech team recruiting as UChicago and Harvard school captain and offers great and relevant advice for applicants looking to recruit for west coast tech banking. Having extensive experience in banking with two internships before returning full time with the group, she would always proactively coach me through banking and point me to sought-after resources. For any situation I was facing, she provided both the most relevant perspective and truthful and helpful feedback. She's simply a great mentor and career coach with unbeatable level of support and helpful advice!

Karla has been a really lovely and supportive person as I worked through key questions I had around when it might make sense for me to take big steps to grow my career. She helped connect me with folks at various M7 schools so that I could make an informed choice about which schools would be the best fit, and she's such a great listener! Even when I came back to her from those conversations with others, I got the right feedback, support, and validation to understand whether I was making the right choices for me.

Karla is an amazing career coach and mentor with an impressive academic and professional pedigree. She coached me through my sophomore internship at Goldman Sachs to ensure that I navigated my summer and manager review sessions effectively to land a return offer. She also mentored me as I transitioned to IB the following year, and with her help I was able to prepare for the rigorous interview process and pick the right IB internship for me. Karla cares about her mentees and takes the time to tailor the right approach to achieve your goals. I would highly recommend working with her!
