I wasn’t sure where to begin this review. Jeremy wasn’t just a coach - he was a partner who genuinely changed my career trajectory. In early 2025, the firm I was working for shut down. It had been a cool job, but I couldn’t see myself doing the niche type of work forever, and honestly, I had zero idea what to do. I found Jeremy almost by coincidence while looking for a path back to a more traditional career. From our first conversation, I could tell he was someone I could trust, and someone who genuinely cared. On my own, I was half-heartedly networking with people in consulting, but deep down I thought it was futile, no way this was going to work. Jeremy proved me wrong. Before I sent out my first consulting applications, we completely rebuilt my resume and cover letter, and to my surprise I landed an interview at McKinsey. I had zero casing experience, but Jeremy built out a plan that took me from square one to nailing every single case in three weeks. After getting to the final round, I was invited to re-apply in 6 months because of a razor-thin call on a single behavioral (PEI) question. I wasn't sure I could wait 6 months and didn't have any doors into other MBBs. But Jeremy didn't falter. He stuck with me, and was more determined than ever to get me into consulting. The full story is a long one, but within a few months I had cross-offers from BCG and LEK! I worked with Jeremy for a long time, and I can’t recommend him enough. I’m incredibly grateful for all the work he put in with me, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without him.

Justin is someone I feel genuinely confident recommending. There is no shortage of generic advice when it comes to recruiting, especially for investment banking. What sets Justin apart is how precise and practical his guidance is. He has a clear understanding of what actually matters in the process and is able to translate that into direct, actionable feedback. He does not waste time on surface level suggestions, and instead focuses on what will materially improve your outcomes. He is particularly valuable for candidates coming from non-traditional backgrounds. Justin has navigated that path himself, and he knows how to position a story in a way that resonates with decision makers. That perspective is difficult to find and makes a meaningful difference. Equally important, he is invested in the people he works with. He is responsive, thoughtful, and consistently engaged throughout the process. It is clear that he cares about results and takes pride in helping others succeed. I would strongly recommend Justin to anyone serious about breaking into investment banking or advancing their career!

"I came to Lajoie knowing I wanted more from my career in AI engineering but couldn't figure out why I wasn't making moves. Through our coaching round, I realized I'd outgrown my old definition of success but was still operating from it. She helped me get clear on what actually mattered to me now and build a plan I could act on daily. Within months, my career started reflecting the person I'd already become."

Diya was one of the few people who gave me assistance when I was getting started in design. I didn’t know much about the field but she recommended me so many options and truly was a big part of the start of my design journey!

Ethan is the guy who listens without judgement and helps you find your own strength in what you are trying to accomplish. Being an Army veteran myself, I really appreciate being able to talk to Ethan about my job and get his opinion on different tasks and projects I am working on. His patience and ability to guide others towards practical solutions makes him someone people can trust and grow with. I know I sure have.
