Investment Banking Coaches, Events, and Resources

I successfully broke into investment banking from a non-target school, where I learned firsthand that the traditional recruiting funnel doesn't work for everyone. I’ve navigated the process and can help you build your own playbook for breaking in, just as I did. My biggest value-add is helping you master the networking strategy that will get you in front of more decision-makers. We'll focus on targeted outreach and crafting messages that actually get responses. While I can cover the foundational technical concepts and conduct mock behavioral interviews, my primary focus is on empowering you to build a network and a resume that will be your greatest asset. I've successfully helped several others break into this competitive industry. I'm here to guide you through the critical early stages of networking and resume prep and am flexible on however I can support you throughout the rest of your job search.

Given how expedited the recruiting process has become for college sophomores, a coach who recruited recently and understands the rapidly evolving process is a necessity. My preparation to land an investment banking seat started in high school, and I didn’t lose steam until I signed my offer in February, 2025. In addition to signing for Houlihan Lokey’s Restructuring Group, I received multiple offers from elite boutique, bulge bracket, and middle market firms.

I secured an internship and a full-time offer at the most prestigious group at JP Morgan, all while coming from a non-target university. I continue to stay connected with my former colleagues, many of whom have become Managing Directors at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Bank of America, as well as leading hedge funds, private equity, and venture capital firms.

I'm a former Goldman Sachs investment banker and private equity Vice President with experience evaluating and executing complex transactions. I help candidates prepare for investment banking interviews by building strong fundamentals, clear thinking, and confidence under pressure.

Hi! I’m Abhi, a former Investment Banking Analyst in the Real Estate group at Wells Fargo, where I advised on $45B+ of M&A and capital markets transactions. I worked on live deals across REITs, private equity sponsors, and public companies while operating in one of the most competitive analyst programs on the Street. I know exactly what the job demands and what top teams look for because I’ve been in the seat myself. Beyond executing deals, I was deeply involved in recruiting. I interviewed 150+ candidates each year and helped evaluate resumes, run technical interviews, and make hiring decisions. I’ve since coached students and career switchers on networking strategy, resume positioning, technical preparation, and behavioral storytelling, helping them secure offers across investment banking and other competitive finance roles. My coaching is direct, tactical, and structured. We focus on what actually moves the needle: a sharp narrative, confident networking, and mastery of interviews so you walk in prepared, not guessing.

I started in investment banking at Lazard, advising on technology M&A, before moving to the buy-side in credit at KKR, so I've seen deals from both the sell-side and the investor's seat. I later deployed capital as a crypto-native investor (Hashed, Parataxis) and today run my own M&A advisory boutique with active client mandates. I know exactly what gets a candidate hired because I've been on the other side of the table, screening resumes, running technicals, and deciding who makes the cut. I coach on the things that actually move the needle: financial modeling (DCF, LBO, M&A, comps), the technical interview, deal walkthroughs, and the judgment that separates a top-1% candidate from a competent one. Whether you're targeting bulge-bracket IB, an elite boutique, private equity, or breaking in from a non-target background, I'll get you sharp, fast.

As an incoming investment banking analyst at Raymond James and a Finance Student Career Coach at Brigham Young University, I specialize in guiding students through the competitive investment banking recruiting process. With hands-on experience from roles at Crewe Capital, Cimarron Healthcare Capital, and Headline Venture Capital, I bring a wealth of industry knowledge to my coaching. I've successfully coached 25+ individuals, providing services such as mock interviews, resume refinement, and networking strategies. Whether you're just starting your journey or need targeted advice, I'm here to help you break into the world of investment banking. Let's connect and craft a personalized plan for your success.

I have worked at Goldman Sachs (TMT IB), Stifel (TMT IB), and J.P. Morgan (Corporate Banking). I can help you prepare for summer analyst recruiting, full-time recruiting (which is super unstructured), or lateral recruiting -- I've done all 3. I have also helped 75 individuals prepare for technical, behavioral, networking meetings, resume prep, and everything in between.

I worked in investment banking and growth equity for several years and have coached numerous candidates for jobs in these industries. I was actively involved with my firms' recruiting and hiring decisions and understand the process thoroughly; I was hired by the University of Michigan career center to coach students applying for investment banking jobs and have reviewed hundreds of resumes, cover letters and mock interviews; I have also spent many years working with non-profits such as Synergist to mentor college women interested in business and finance. I take a hands-on approach and strive to help every one of my clients reflect their best true potential.
