Mike helped me move from Fitch Ratings to MUFG Securities and taught me how the game was played. I knew Mike was the right professional for me. Empathetic and intuitive as a person and understood Wall Street back and forth. I enrolled in his comprehensive Job Accelerator Plan, creating a resume and LinkedIn profile that spoke to my hard and soft skills, to networking me into my top target investment banks.

I connected with Mike when he had some questions pertaining to a client he was working with that he thought I could help with. I was so impressed by his thoroughness that when I decided to attempt a different career path, I sought his services. He helped establish my online presence and brand in a way that no AI program could have. In less than 24 hours my partner and I were contacted by multiple contacts to discuss partnership opportunities. I will definitely seek his advice in the future when the need arises.

Mike helped me get to the greatest company in the world, Amazon (AWS)! Mike helps you figure out your career direction so you save time. I wanted to network with professionals that had certain technical certifications. Speaking to these professionals at the right firms helped my job search. Mike arranged coffee chats. He saves you time, a commodity more valuable than money.

Mike helped me land my dream job with Google! After 23 years with the same company, I needed a change but didn't know where to start. Mike helped me explore other careers by setting up coffee chats with friendly professionals.

Within 2 months of working with Mike, I moved from Wall Street to Salesforce. If you need to pivot, he is your guy. I was a very successful sales trader for 20 years. However, the landscape of Wall Street changed, and my next move was not going to be the same role since fewer and fewer exist. Mike and I worked on identifying the different types of jobs and industries that would be a fit.

I got the job as a senior risk manager at Mizuho in NYC and am thrilled. Thank you for your coaching before the interview - I was getting frustrated after being close on a number of other opportunities and with the onset of COVID-19. Your advice and coaching was just the bump, change of perspective, slightly new technique, and encouragement I needed at a difficult time.
