Investment Banking Coaches, Events, and Resources

I was a senior associate in Investment Banking (FIG) at Goldman Sachs in London, where I worked on strategic and advisory projects for financial institutions across EMEA, building my skills in financial modelling and valuation analysis. I've also co-founded initiatives and advised entrepreneurs through Antler, a global VC firm. I hold an MBA from Harvard Business School, where I was nominated to tutor in business and international economy courses. I'm passionate about helping people from underprivileged or non-traditional backgrounds break into this often opaque industry and figure out if it's the right fit for them. Let’s chat!

Welcome to my profile! With an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA in Financial Economics from Columbia University, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to help you break into investment banking. I have worked and recruited at Morgan Stanley and later Sycamore Partners, top IB and PE firms, with a specialization in Consumer & Retail. I will help you in any part of the process: from technical interview prep, to networking strategy, to inside perspectives on how recruiting actually works.

🚫 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. "Help me get started" 🚦 We’ll do a full profile analysis, understand your specific circumstances, and chart a personalized roadmap with clear next steps. 🛣️🗂️ 2. "Help my Resume" 📄🔍 A detailed session covering structure, formatting, section-by-section strategy, and a line-by-line review. (Remember — attention to detail is everything in banking! 🧾✅) 3. "Help me strategize" 🧠⚔️ Still debating BBs vs EBs? Product vs Industry groups? Let’s find where you fit best and build a strategy to maximize your chances. 🎯 4. "Help me master networking" ☕🤝 Includes a short mock coffee chat + tailored advice to help you be more effective (and memorable!). As an international student with zero finance experience, I had to learn the hard way. Let me help you skip that learning curve. 🚀 5. "Help me plan my technical prep" 📘⏳ Let’s build a customized technical prep strategy — the best resources, timelines, and milestones — that works with your schedule, not against it. 🗓️🔧 6. "Help me prep for industry and deal discussions" 💬📈 From deal templates and elevator pitches to industry insights — we’ll prep you to stand out in coffee chats and handle even the dreaded nth-level follow-ups like a pro. 🧩💼 7. "Help me get that interview invite" ✉️🔓 You're in the crucial weeks before first-round interviews. Let's talk low-touch vs high-touch strategies and how to stay tactically on radar. 🎯📬 8. "Help me prep for interviews" 🎤📚 Wait — hurray! You’re over the first hurdle. Just by getting that interview invite, your chances of landing the job have gone up tenfold! 🎉 Now it’s time to make it count. We’ll kick off with a short mock (technical + behavioral), assess where you stand, and create a personalized prep plan to help you crush both technicals and behaviorals with ~2-3 weeks of structured prep. 🔥🧠✅ 9. "Let’s do a full mock (coffee chat/interview)" 🕵️‍♀️🎬 A full simulation of what’s next — whether it’s a coffee chat, first round, or Superday — followed by detailed feedback so you can refine and level up. 🧗‍♂️✨ 🛠️ Need something tailored or want to mix & match? Shoot me a message and we’ll plan a session that fits your timeline and goals perfectly. 📝📞

I bring a wealth of experience to help you break into the competitive world of finance. I began my career as an Investment Banking Analyst at J.P. Morgan, focused largely on TMT deals. After banking, I moved to Bain Capital where I worked in tech private equity & growth investing and then Squarepoint Capital, a large hedge fund where I managed a book of software stocks and oversaw our private growth investing efforts. I have since decided to work on my own endeavor, having raised capital and launched a private investment firm focused on down-market acquisitions of B2B businesses. I've always enjoyed spending time mentoring and have recently decided to do it more formally. Looking forward to connecting on your goals & aspirations!

Welcome to my profile! With extensive experience in investment banking and private equity, I am here to help you navigate the competitive landscape of investment banking careers. I worked at Goldman Sachs for 2 summers and 5 years (Summer Analyst-Associate), in multiple private equity roles (Vista Equity Partners, Audax Private Equity) and have extensive experience with interview preparation, on-the-desk readiness, general career navigation, technical skill refinement, and more. Currently, I am pursuing my MBA at Columbia Business School as a Robert F. Smith Scholar, further deepening my expertise in alternative investments and entrepreneurship. Over the last decade, I have coached 75+ students/early stage professionals across a variety of formal and informal capacities. Whether you need help with interview preparation, resume refinement, or networking strategies, I'm here to support your journey. I genuinely love this stuff and remember how difficult my journey was trying to "figure it out" - Let's book time to chat about how I can be helpful!

Having started out my post-MBA career in investment banking and then transitioning to private equity, I bring a wealth of experience in entering and advancing careers in investment banking and private equity. I began my career in the Financial Management Program at GE and then, after receiving my MBA from HBS, made the leap to Investment Banking as an Associate at Wells Fargo Securities. Following my time in IB, I spent 20 years in private equity at middle-market investment firm, Reynolda Equity Partners, ultimately becoming a Managing Partner, before leaving to invest independently under my 1780 Capital banner. I have a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed at all levels in the competitive world of finance and M&A. I am passionate about helping aspiring investment bankers and finance professionals enter the industry and navigate their career paths.

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.

Welcome to my profile! With extensive experience in the investment banking sector, including roles at Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my coaching practice. My focus has been on TMT coverage, particularly in software and data analytics, which equips me with the insights needed to guide aspiring investment bankers. As a VP of Corporate Development at Instructure, I continue to leverage my expertise in strategic growth and partnerships. I have successfully coached 5 individuals, helping them navigate the competitive landscape of investment banking. If you're looking to break into this field, let's connect and craft a strategy tailored to your success!

Welcome to my profile. I successfully navigated the investment banking recruiting process in Fall 2025 and coach from real, recent experience with what works in today’s market. I focus on building strong technical skills from solid sources and preparing candidates to handle real interview pressure, not just technical drills in isolation. I work closely with career switchers to build a targeted recruiting strategy around which banks and groups make sense for their background, so effort is focused where outcomes are most likely. I have led technical workshops, run mock interviews, and coached candidates across accounting, valuation, recruiting strategy, resume refinement, and networking execution. The goal is simple: prepare efficiently, avoid outdated advice, and show up to interviews confident in both your skills and your strategy.

What sets me apart from other stellar coaches on this platform is that I didn't get into IB via a traditional route. I started my career in accounting and through a combination of networking, story crafting, technical prep, and grit found my way into a middle market investment bank. If you want to lateral to IB (or get in generally) I can help you. I had a number of significant roadblocks including poor health in my undergrad, a mediocre GPA and limited connections in IB. After figuring out which levers I needed to pull and which doors I needed to bang on, I now am almost a year into my job at Piper Sandler with a mega fund PE offer as well. Making this jump has unlocked an entire new level to my career and I am passionate about helping others in similar situations. If you can get the story right, it can take you anywhere.
