Investment Banking Coaches, Events, and Resources

Hi! Hope you're doing well. My name is Kyle, and I'm currently an associate at a megafund in private equity, having worked as a full-time analyst on the technology investment banking team at Morgan Stanley for two years, and having graduated from Stanford with a degree in Economics and Computer Science. I love serving as a finance coach because of the chance for me to pay it forward, given the mentorship I received from others during my recruiting journey despite being low-income, and helping my students successfully land their dream jobs at top firms. I specialize across investment banking, private equity, and asset management, with services ranging from interview case prep to financial modeling and analysis and much more. I faced a lot of challenges during my recruiting journey, and failed during interviews at 20+ firms, which fortunately has equipped me with a wealth of recruiting insights and experience. What differentiates me as a coach is my understanding of the sector landscape (ie. MM vs. UMM vs. MF funds in PE or boutique firms in IB), knowing what the interviewers will ask and what they want to hear, as well as the wealth of practice resources and materials I have for students.

🚫 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.

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.

Having personally gone through multiple recruiting cycles and later transitioned to Private Equity at a top megafund, I understand what banks look for at every stage from resume screening to final-round interviews. I’ve also been on the other side of the table, helping recruit and prepare candidates for banking roles. I know the nuances of each firm’s interview style, the most common technical pitfalls, and what differentiates top-performing analysts from the rest. Whether you’re preparing for technical interviews, refining your story, or navigating the recruiting process, I’ll help you approach recruiting with clarity, confidence, and a competitive edge.

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.

I spent ~10 years working in IB and PE. During that time, and after, I've worked with dozens of Investment Banks in my operating roles.

I have successfully guided several dozens of students to land offers at top-tier firms like GS, Evercore, and BlackRock by ignoring the typical recruiting scripts.
