Investment Banking Coaches, Events, and Resources

I was an Investment Banking Associate at Goldman Sachs for four years (2018-2022), where I worked in both capital markets and the Consumer & Retail group. I am happy to help with resume reviews, technical skills and interview prep, as well as providing general advice on careers in the industry and how best to strategize the recruiting process. Whether you’re just starting out or preparing for specific roles, I’m here to offer personalized insights and strategies to support your career journey. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can support you!

After completing a summer internship and one year as an investment banking analyst in the Financial Institutions Group at J.P. Morgan in New York City, I spent a summer working as a teaching assistant with Training The Street, where I helped hundreds of summer analysts and full-time analysts prepare for their roles. I can help with interview prep (both technical and behavioral) as well as with networking and application strategy for those interested in summer and full-time analyst positions at bulge bracket banks, especially applicants from non-target and underrepresented backgrounds.

I'm Yudhajit, a finance professional and coach with 9+ years of experience across M&A consulting, investment banking, and financial modeling instruction. I’ve worked at Deloitte Consulting (M&A and tech), completed my MBA at NYU Stern with a focus on finance and strategy, and most recently, trained future investment bankers at top firms as a Teaching Associate at Training the Street. I specialize in coaching students and early-career professionals who are targeting roles in investment banking, private equity, and corporate finance. I can help you build technical fluency in Excel, accounting, valuation (DCF, comps, LBO), and financial modeling from scratch, or polish your existing skills to stand out in interviews and on the job. Whether you’re preparing for an investment banking superday, building your first 3-statement model, or seeking a mentor to keep you accountable—I'd love to work with you.

Hi, I'm Ali, a junior at Brown University studying Applied Mathematics–Economics (Mathematical Finance track with a focus on probabilistic modeling) and will be joining Goldman Sachs for Investment Banking this summer. I’ve spent the last two years mentoring students 1-on-1 through resume refinement, technical/behavioral prep, networking strategy, and superday preparation — helping them land offers at firms like Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Jefferies, PWP, and Goldman Sachs. As VP of the Bruno Finance Society, I’ve helped lead campus-wide recruiting initiatives and have personally guided students through every stage of the process. My approach is extremely hands-on and personalized — I work with you across all fronts to give you the best shot at an offer, whether you're just starting out or preparing for final rounds. Every student I’ve mentored 1-on-1 so far has received at least one offer. I care deeply about outcomes and prefer to work with a small number of highly motivated clients who are ready to put in the time and effort. If you're all-in, I’ll do everything I can to get you across the finish line.

🚫 I may not be the right coach for you — yes, you read that right! If you're looking for a magical solution to break into Investment Banking, this isn’t it. ❌ If you’re still reading… I still may not be the right coach for you. If you already come from a strong finance background, chances are you know more than I do! 🧠📊 Still here? 👀 That’s probably because you’re trying to pivot into Investment Banking. 🔄💰 And this is where I know I can add tremendous value. 👩🏽‍💻 A little about me: I'm an Indian female engineer turned management consultant. Most recruiters would probably categorize my profile as a classic non-traditional candidate. I’m currently pursuing my MBA at Wharton, UPenn, and successfully landed two summer internship offers from top Investment Banks in New York. 🗽💼 📞 Types of Coaching Calls I Recommend 1.
