Entering the competitive world of investment banking requires more than just academic achievements—it requires strategic planning, adept networking, and targeted action. As someone who navigated switching careers, switched banking industry sectors and types of banks, I understand the ins and outs of this intensive process across a wide variety of banks. Beyond my personal achievements, I have mentored and guided students by reviewing their resumes and coached them to land investment banking internships. Whether it's crafting an impressive resume, acing behavioral interviews, or mastering the art of networking, I will provide you with the tailored strategies that helped me and countless others succeed. Let's together navigate the demanding path toward a successful career in investment banking. I'm here to equip you with the tools, strategies, and confidence you need to stand out in this dynamic field.

I have significant experience recruiting for jobs in finance, including both summer analyst and analyst roles in IB and private equity/hedge fund associate roles. I also served as an interviewer and mentor for junior employees during my time in banking, so I am well-positioned to help current students or people in other roles make the transition. I am excited to help and can assist with anything throughout the process, from resume review and networking to case studies, final round interviews, and deciding between offers. Feel free to reach out and looking forward to getting in touch!

Welcome to my profile! I’m qualified to coach in investment banking because I’ve worked in the IB environment and understand exactly what banks look for, in interviews and on the job. I bring hands-on investment banking experience from firms such as Morgan Stanley and Société Générale, where I worked on live M&A and capital markets transactions, building financial models, valuations, and pitchbooks under real deal timelines. This exposure gives me a clear understanding of how banks assess technical ability, commercial judgment, and execution mindset, not just whether someone can answer technical questions. I’ve coached international candidates across undergraduate, master’s, and lateral-hire tracks targeting bulge bracket, elite boutique, and strong middle-market banks. My coaching focuses on structured technical mastery, practical financial modeling intuition, and crisp deal storytelling, combined with direct, honest feedback. No shortcuts, no memorized answers, just clear fundamentals, repetition where it matters, and interview readiness aligned with real IB expectations. If you’re serious about breaking into investment banking and want practical guidance from someone who’s been there, I’d be happy to help. Let's connect and strategize your path to success in investment banking!

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!

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a robust background in both technology and finance, I bring a unique perspective to investment banking coaching. I began my career as a Technology Investment Banking Analyst at Morgan Stanley, where I played a key role in high-profile transactions, including Xilinx's $49Bn sale to AMD. My experience extends to working on mergers, acquisitions, and share buybacks, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of the industry. Currently, I am a Senior Software Engineer at Notion, which allows me to blend technical expertise with financial acumen. I'm passionate about helping aspiring investment bankers navigate the competitive landscape and achieve their career goals. Let's connect and strategize your path to success in investment banking!

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.

Looking forward to working together! I have worked in PE for several years, but before that, I was heavily involved in IB recruiting and helped many students in my school land their Summer Analyst and full-time offers. It is a very network driven industry to break into, and approaching the networking the right way is critical to generating your opportunities. Equally important is honing your behavioral and technical interviewing skills. I'm excited to help with all of that, just as I've done for many of my friends and mentees.
