Investment Banking Coaches, Events, and Resources

Hi, welcome to my profile! With extensive experience in M&A and capital raising, including roles as a Senior Analyst at Citi and a Junior Analyst at Olsen Palmer, I bring a wealth of knowledge to help you break into this competitive field. I've been part of the summer analyst selection committee at Citi and contributed to Placement Day panels, giving me a keen insight into what top firms are looking for in candidates. As a co-founder and COO of CurraPay, I also understand the entrepreneurial side of finance and how to apply the skills you learn/learned in IB to your own future ventures. I've successfully coached several individuals to secure positions in investment banking, and I'm excited to help you achieve your career goals. Let's connect and work together to craft a holistic and winning strategy to make your application stand out! Onwards!

I’ve sat on every side of the deal: M&A Lawyer, Investment Banker, Private Equity Operator - and I’ll help you stand out and win offers fast. Before Wharton, I spent four years as an M&A attorney at Kirkland & Ellis and Paul, Weiss, advising private-equity sponsors on acquisitions, carve-outs, and complex financings. I then transitioned to the investing side, working in investment banking at Guggenheim Securities (Healthcare Services) and now in private equity at GenNx360 Capital Partners, where I partner directly with management teams to drive value creation. Across these roles I’ve interviewed, mentored, and successfully guided 10+ candidates through competitive investment banking recruiting, from networking strategy and technical prep to final-round interview coaching. I combine real transaction experience with a step-by-step approach so clients gain both the skills and the confidence to land offers at leading banks.

Having successfully recruited for numerous banks, I worked at Goldman Sachs for 5 years most recently in the TMT team in Investment Banking. During my time at Goldman Sachs, I was a part of the recruiting team for 4 years, assessing candidates for internship and full-time roles across various teams. Throughout my professional career, I have mentored numerous people who are looking to break into investment banking at various levels and have been able to develop a deep set of skills that can help you in your recruiting journey. I’ve distilled my experience and insights into a clear, effective program designed to make sure you feel confident and prepared for each and every part of the recruitment process.

I not only have first hand experience in networking, interviewing and securing a role at a top-tier investment bank, I also have a wealth of experience in coaching and mentoring others to do the same. As a finance student at BYU, I quickly realized that starting my career in investment banking would be the best route for me in order to achieve where I wanted to go in my career long-term. After multiple networking trips, info sessions and endless hours of interview prep I was able to secure a summer internship and subsequently a full-time role with Goldman Sachs in their TMT group in San Francisco. During my senior year, in between my internship and starting full time, I served as the Co-President of the Investment Banking Club at BYU - an organization solely dedicated to preparing students to land jobs on Wall Street. As part of that I reviewed countless resumes, organized networking trips, ran mock interviews and helped guide students in any way that I could. Since working in investment banking and then private equity, I have continued to try and find opportunities to help students forge their own path into investment banking and beyond.

I have coached tons of people and have interviewed lots of people. I am school captain for Harvard and MIT recruiting at Morgan Stanley’s Technology IBD group. I am an excellent story teller and can help you prep your pitch and for behavioral questions. I also came into banking with no finance background so can help you really break down the technicals. After working at Bridgewater Associates, I managed to secure offers from Morgan Stanley’s Tech Investment Banking group and Goldman Sach’s TMT group in SF. I am kind and understanding but also honest with my feedback. I can help you put your best foot forward with banking recruiting.

I’m Ajay Kilambi, a Wharton student pursuing a B.S. in Finance and an M.S. in Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania. I’ve worked across private equity and investment banking, focusing on healthcare and life sciences, and have gone through the entire recruiting process myself — from networking and technical prep to closing offers. I know how competitive and confusing recruiting can feel, and my goal is to make it clear, structured, and achievable. Whether you’re aiming to break into investment banking, refine your story, or master technicals, I bring real deal experience, insider perspective, and practical guidance to help you stand out and land the role you want.

Welcome to my profile! With extensive experience in investment banking, currently serving as an Associate Director at UBS, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my coaching practice.

I am a focused and transformative career coach who has helped hundreds of MBA students achieve their goals to work in investment banking. Building on my strong interpersonal skills, I am able to help hone clients' stories to answer "why investment banking?, why this bank?, why this group?" Having advised those focused on bulge bracket banks as well as boutiques, I have a deep understanding of the different roles in investment banking and have educated many about the best way to demonstrate their value as bankers.

Hi! I’m a former Goldman Sachs Healthcare Investment Banking Analyst who loves helping students break into investment banking. I started at Goldman as a sophomore summer intern and returned for junior summer and full-time after graduating from Northwestern. During my time there, I worked on nearly $25B in healthcare M&A deals. I enjoy helping candidates make sense of a demanding recruiting process, whether that’s tightening a resume, refining your story, or preparing for interviews. Always happy to connect and help you map out next steps!

After I graduated from Berkeley Haas, I spent two years as an investment banking analyst at Morgan Stanley before becoming a Private Equity Associate at The Carlyle Group. In my free time, I am a mentor for Women In Network, a non-profit organization founded to promote and encourage females in the professional world by fostering mentorships, expanding networks, and building communities. I have helped high school and college students with thinking through their future career by helping them with interview prep, talking through their interests / what they're looking for in a job, understanding the technical portions of a model / questions that would come up in an interview, and providing step-by-step guides to recruiting. I also taught 2 Berkeley Haas classes when I was a senior in college. I prepared materials for my classes, which were "Introduction to Investment Banking" and "Introduction to Buyside Financial Modelling".
