Jay has been a fantastic mentor and role model to me over the years. He has supported me through IB/PE recruiting, the MBA search, and broader career decisions. His advice has always been thoughtful and constructive. He is incredibly personable and genuinely invests in you not just professionally, but as a person. I could not recommend him more highly.

One of the best mentor a candidate could ever have for studies and future research works. Great mentorship, ocean of knowledge and experienced heart with full of wisdom.

Yazid is a wonderful person and a dear friend. He helped me at the beginning of my journey in the world of strategic consulting and in preparing for the selection process. In the end, I was accepted to Strategy&, and for that he deserves great thanks. I highly recommend him!

I had an amazing experience working with Navi! She has so much experience on product management and her advice landed me a job at Google. She did a great job going over mock interview questions and behavioral prep. Would highly recommend working with her!

Marco is a fantastic coach and a wonderful person. Through our sessions together, I was able to dive much deeper into both the GMAT and GRE. At every step, Marco helped me recognize common question traps, refine my reasoning, and approach the tests more strategically. His guidance played a key role in accelerating my progress. Thanks to his patience, clarity in explanations, and strategic expertise with the exams, I was able to significantly improve my performance in a short period of time, reaching a 665 on GMAT mock and a 320 on the official GRE test. I’m very grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone preparing for these exams!

Poor communication, and did not provide much useful guidance

Jay has been a mentor of mine professionally, in the MBA application process, and personally. If you are looking for someone with thoughtful commentary that will help elevate you to the next level, I would highly recommend Jay. He is also a blast to speak with!

Jay was extremely helpful during our time working together. He was an incredible mentor throughout the recruiting process and gave clear, practical advice on how to position myself for roles in Private Equity. He is very knowledgeable technically and did a great job breaking down complex concepts into clear frameworks that were easy to understand. I’m very grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone navigating the recruiting process.

I was pretty nervous about my JLL interviews, but working with Steven made a big difference. He's worked in private equity and now does investment banking at Evercore, so he's seen a lot of different situations. That experience really shows when he's helping you prepare. What I appreciated about Steven is that he doesn't just give you standard answers. He'd share actual stories from deals he's worked on, which helped me understand things much better. When we were going through valuation questions, he'd explain not just how to do the math but why certain approaches matter in real situations. That context was incredibly helpful when trying to sound like you actually know what you're talking about. He spent hours with me doing mock interviews and was so patient. I'd mess up an answer and he'd calmly walk me through it again, showing me a better way to think about it. Since he interviews candidates at Evercore, he's familiar with what trips people up and how to avoid those mistakes. The practice sessions felt realistic because Steven knew what kinds of tough questions actually get asked. He'd challenge my reasoning the same way a real interviewer would. By the time I got to JLL, I felt much more prepared and confident. Steven was also great at helping me see how different parts of finance connect. Having worked in both PE and banking, he could explain how everything fits together, which made me more comfortable discussing the industry as a whole. Steven really knows what he's doing and genuinely cares about helping you succeed. I'm grateful for all his help in preparing me and getting me ready for this role.

Jay was my assigned full-time mentor in investment banking when I was a summer intern. Through his coaching and the confidence instilled, I was able to greatly improve my performance and he was pivotal to me getting a return offer. Jay also was very helpful in reviewing my essays and helping me get into (and currently attend) Harvard Business School.
