A student at a "low rank" school struggling to find a summer internship. We built a networking strategy and a resume game plan. Two meetings later he landed an internship at JP Morgan, and he's now there full time as an analyst.
No filter.
No cringe.
Enjoy.

Where people went next.
I've advised thousands of high schoolers, college students, and professionals. Here are some specific people I've helped and their results.
A young professional who felt stuck and was eyeing an MBA to change careers. We crafted his story, worked his college and work alumni networks, and went after banking instead. He ended with a bulge bracket offer in NYC.
An Australian student from a finance target with no US exposure, who thought being from Australia was a setback. We built a story that made his international background a strength, and he landed a US bulge bracket offer.
An international student with family-business experience who only saw banking as a stepping stone to PE. We polished his resume and found PE firms hiring straight from undergrad. Hired after three meetings.
A student with no real passion for finance and talent elsewhere. I pushed him to use the same tactics — cold calling, networking — on music. He's now a full-time sound engineer in LA under one of the biggest producers of our time.
A professional unsatisfied with their career and unsure what options existed. We decided an MBA was the right reset, then worked through the best programs, the application process and the GMAT.
Best blog of our generation.
