Investment Banking Coaches

Hi, this is Shawn! I graduated from the McCombs School of Business at UT Austin with my Bachelor’s degree in Canfield Business Honors & Finance and got admitted to several M7 programs including the Wharton School. Having diverse financial services experience at Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, I am happy to help with resume reviews, technical skills and interview prep, as well as provide general advice on careers in the industry and how best to strategize the recruiting process across areas like Investment Banking, Finance & Business Management, Global Markets, and Product Strategy & Transformation. 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!

With a robust background in private equity and strategic finance, I bring a wealth of experience to help you navigate the competitive landscape of investment banking and private equity careers. As a former Private Equity Associate at Ara Partners, I worked on five portfolio companies and closed two platform investments in the energy / decarbonization sector, providing me with firsthand insights into the intricacies of the industry. My journey also includes roles at EIG (an infrastructure PE fund) and J.P. Morgan, where I honed my skills in energy infrastructure and investment banking. I am well-equipped to guide you through the nuances of private equity applications and interviews, especially if you have an engineering background. I am also a graduate of Harvard Business School (MBA) and Princeton University, and closely worked with the admissions team on crafting an overall admissions strategy. I'm happy to assist with business school or college applications and strategies to maximize your admission chances.

Over the last 15 years, I've helped hundreds of students from non-target schools land jobs at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Evercore, Moelis, Citi, Barclays, UBS, Jefferies, Lazard, Guggenheim, Catalyst, Wells Fargo, and many, many more.

I am a current Harvard Business School student with experience in large-cap private equity investing, middle-market private equity investing, and sell-side M&A investment banking. I received multiple investment banking jobs offers coming from a non-target school, received an accelerated promotion offer, and was a top-reviewed analyst in my banking program. Together, we can navigate investment banking networking, resume crafting, interview prep (technicals, behavrioral, and modeling), offer negotiation, and more. From there, we can also navigate banking internships and analyst programs to support you on a promotion or exit opportunity path. I bring a warm, practical approach to coaching and look forward to meeting you!

I coach aspiring investment bankers with firsthand experience landing highly competitive roles at top bulge-bracket firms in New York. I secured investment banking positions at Citigroup (Healthcare) and Morgan Stanley (Media & Telecom) — both with return offers — giving me a deep understanding of what it takes to break into the industry at the highest level. Having gone through the recruiting process myself, I know exactly how firms evaluate candidates, what distinguishes a top performer, and how to prepare effectively for each stage of the process. In addition to my own banking experience, I understand the full finance career arc, including how candidates can position themselves early for a strong private equity exit. I bring a structured, human-centric approach to coaching, helping candidates master technical skills, refine their narrative, and navigate recruiting with clarity and confidence. Whether you're aiming for your first internship, a full-time offer, or a strategic exit into PE, I’ll help you prepare with the precision and insight the industry demands.

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.

I'm a former Goldman Sachs investment banker and private equity Vice President with experience evaluating and executing complex transactions. I help candidates prepare for investment banking interviews by building strong fundamentals, clear thinking, and confidence under pressure.

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".

Worked in J.P. Morgan's Healthcare Investment Banking Group from 2020-2022.

Hi! I’m Abhi, a former Investment Banking Analyst in the Real Estate group at Wells Fargo, where I advised on $45B+ of M&A and capital markets transactions. I worked on live deals across REITs, private equity sponsors, and public companies while operating in one of the most competitive analyst programs on the Street. I know exactly what the job demands and what top teams look for because I’ve been in the seat myself. Beyond executing deals, I was deeply involved in recruiting. I interviewed 150+ candidates each year and helped evaluate resumes, run technical interviews, and make hiring decisions. I’ve since coached students and career switchers on networking strategy, resume positioning, technical preparation, and behavioral storytelling, helping them secure offers across investment banking and other competitive finance roles. My coaching is direct, tactical, and structured. We focus on what actually moves the needle: a sharp narrative, confident networking, and mastery of interviews so you walk in prepared, not guessing.
