Michael made a huge difference in my recruiting process. I came in with a decent understanding of the basics, but I didn’t really know how to position myself or approach things strategically. He helped me connect all the pieces from networking to interview prep to how I told my story. He’s very thoughtful in how he works with people. Instead of just giving you answers, he pushes you to think through things yourself and figure out what actually makes you stand out. That was especially helpful for me coming from a less traditional background. He was also great for mock interviews - they felt very real and forced me to improve quickly. Beyond that, he gave really practical advice on firm selection, outreach, and even how to handle offer decisions, which I hadn’t gotten anywhere else. Overall, he brings a level of clarity and structure that’s hard to find. I’d definitely recommend working with him if you’re going through IB or PE recruiting.

I came into the private equity recruiting process feeling super lost on how to approach it. I was not sure about whether or not I initially wanted to recruit so I missed the first wave of recruiting and found myself in "off-cycle" recruiting which in many ways was both more difficult, unstructured, and immensely more drawn out than the traditional private equity recruiting process. Michael was really instrumental in helping me to create my own personal plan to approach recruiting with. Together we devised my networking guide, my list of target firms, my headhunter strategy, and my technicals prep. Throughout my interviews, I was able to rely on Michael for support on various aspects of the process from behaviorals to feedback on case studies. I was ultimately able to land several offers and it was in large part because of Michael's meticulous support!! I am a huge fan of his services!

The biggest thing Michael helped me with was bridging the gap between knowing the material and actually performing in interviews. He pushed me to articulate answers more clearly and think through problems step by step, which is exactly what my interviewers were looking for. I ended up landing offers at Evercore, Centerview, and PJT, and his coaching was a major reason why. Definitely recommend!!

Varun is a great mentor who really understands the recruiting process. Thanks to his strategic guidance on my resume and interview prep, I successfully secured offers from both Capital One and Johnson & Johnson. He’s practical, easy to work with, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to level up their career

Working with Amanda was an incredible experience! I had only a few weeks to put my MBA application together, and she guided me through everything, including defining my goals and building my personal brand to write a coherent application story and interview responses. I was a dual degree applicant (MBA and policy degree), and I am young in comparison to the average MBA admit, so I needed to make sure my story was clear. I ended up earning full-ride offers from multiple top MBA programs, and ultimately chose to attend Stanford GSB, my dream school. Amanda consistently went above and beyond, and she even took a call from Mexico during her vacation to help me refine my Stanford essays.

Anna is an amazing coach! She gave me advice that helped me focus my aspirations and also provided feedback on my essay that caught the attention of the #1 ranked business school - Wharton. If you want a coach that will give you advice based on lived experience and institutional knowledge, that will get you admitted to the top business school, look no further!

Throughout all of my recruiting processes, Gaurish was the person I kept coming back to for advice across minor and major questions. His guidance and advice have been absolutely critical. He's capable, smart, and always smiling, which makes the mentorship / coaching dynamic a bit less nerve-wracking. I never felt like I was being judged

Bob is an inspiration to my son. He has broken down each reading comp and LR questions into categories and dissects each type of question with a ruthless method that yields results. He has high expectations and encourages and inspires his students to keep challenging themselves. From my perspective- his tutoring sessions have been invaluable. Thank you for all you do Bob!

Working with Tiffany was a game-changer during a tricky career transition. I gained a lot of clarity and confidence. Tiffany asked the right questions and challenged me in all the best ways. I left each session with renewed energy and clarity.

Working with Justin was one of the most impactful decisions I made in my career. With his guidance, I received offers from McKinsey, Deloitte, BCG, and EY. He supported me through every stage of the process from crafting and refining my PEIs to coaching me through salary negotiations. Beyond the direct coaching, Justin connected me with practitioners from the firms I was interviewing at, who provided an insider perspective on the process and conducted additional practice interviews with me. Justin’s support and feedback always pushed me toward a higher standard. The offers I received and the compensation I negotiated, would not have been possible without his involvement.
