David was my coach when I was part of SEO’s Career program as an investment banking summer analyst at Morgan Stanley and he was instrumental in helping me convert my internship into a full-time offer. It’s rare to find people who come from humble beginnings and have successfully navigated the elite world of finance. He’s completely transparent, easy to open up to, and great at giving actionable advice based on his own experiences. I still often seek David’s guidance many years later. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Max goes above and beyond in everything he does. When I was applying for IB internship and analyst roles, Max provided differentiated insight when workshopping my resume, "story", LinkedIn profile, and overall professional persona. He also grilled me on technicals, and excels in preparing his mentees for the hardball questions that thoroughly test your understanding of financial markets. He adeptly understands the soft and hard skills that are required for IB / PE recruiting, and is not afraid to give challenging advice that, while sometimes not easy to hear, is exactly what you need. I recommend Max wholeheartedly.

I have personally been impacted by Vatsal's contagious work ethic numerous times. Going through countless possible case study scenarios with him boosted my confidence during my interview process. Vatsal's tips on how to emphasize my strengths were invaluable and a direct correlation to me landing my position within my firm. The interviewer asked several of the exact questions we covered during our practice session and thanks to Vatsal's guidance, I was able to go into the interview feeling well prepared and at ease. I truly believe I would not have been considered for this position if not for his guidance and encouragement along the way. From spending time to explain key concepts I needed to learn, to giving me opportunities to take on new projects and showcase my abilities, Vatsal has been an invaluable part of my journey thus far. I will be forever grateful for the pivotal role Vatsal played in helping make this career milestone happen for me.

Max is an intelligent, driven, and dedicated titan in his field. He works until the job is done and throughly enjoys sharing his wealth of knowledge with others. He goes out of his way to mentor others, whether it's in music or finance, all areas he is exceptionally skilled at.

We reached out to Greg early last year to help our case team, but he quickly became a mentor to my team and I. Greg’s innate ability to mentor helped guide me throughout my time in my professional and academic career. His mentorship is invaluable — I highly recommend him.

Max has been an incredible mentor and friend to me. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and well-versed in many different areas of finance, but more importantly, he is a selfless, kind, and patient teacher. Max has personally helped me approach both investment banking and private equity interview prep, and it's with Max's support and guidance that I've been able to excel in some very difficult interviews and secure offers. I wholeheartedly vouch for Max and give him my full support.

David has been a mentor and coach throughout many phases of my career: investment banking, PE/VC, and business school. He was instrumental in helping me land a spot at the GSB. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a stellar coach who can offer tactical advice and motivate you to reach for more. Anyone would be lucky to work with him!

David is an incredible coach! I worked with him for a year and a half to explore career opportunities, improve my executive presence, and get active feedback on graduate school applications. He is a deep thinker, exceedingly empathetic, and highly analytical⎼a rare combination of skills that make him the perfect career coach. His professional and academic background gave me confidence in his advice and when he didn't know the answer to a question I had, he would connect me with people in his vast network to support my growth. I can't recommend David enough! As a direct result of our engagement, I was able to successfully pivot to become a Product Manager, received a promotion soon after, and increased my salary by $50k. I would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Max's dedication to his work is unparalleled; his strong work ethic shines through in every interaction. His in-depth knowledge of the finance industry proved invaluable to me during my recruitment process. Max's personable nature and genuine desire to help others succeed make him a pleasure to work with. His guidance was instrumental in my job search, and I have no doubt that he will bring the same level of commitment and expertise to others. Any individual seeking support in their professional journey would be fortunate to have Max as their coach.

Having Melanie as my MBA coach was a transformative experience that significantly boosted my confidence! Her guidance was instrumental in refining my essay responses and honing my skills for behavioral interviews. Melanie's coaching goes beyond excellence; she is also a caring and thoughtful individual, making the entire coaching process less overwhelming and much more productive.
