Frequently Asked Questions

What problems does this coaching solve?
Lack of direction, spray-and-pray applications, weak story, and stalled networking. We set a lane, build assets, and create a weekly routine you can sustain.
How is this different from my school’s career center?
We work 1:1, move fast, and tailor everything to your constraints. Career offices are well-meaning but often over-worked, with unrealistic case loads.
Who is this for?
Second-year MBAs without offers, triple jumpers, international students needing sponsorship, and anyone who feels stuck or scattered.
How quickly will I see progress?
Most clients gain clarity and a target list by the second session. Momentum builds weekly as outreach and follow-ups stack up.
Do you only work with consulting candidates?
No. We coach for consulting, tech, finance, healthcare, sustainability, startups, and more. For consulting, we add focused case and fit prep.
I’m making a “triple jump.” Is that realistic?
Yes, with constraints. We anchor at least one dimension (industry, function, or geography) and sequence the rest to reduce risk.
I’m an international student. Can you help with sponsorship?
We can help build a sponsor-friendly list, refine your story for visa questions, and focus networking on firms that hire internationals.
What’s included in the 5-session package?
Assessment and priorities, resume and pitch tightening, target list and outreach plan, follow-up system and tracker, and interview prep (cases or role-specific).
What happens between sessions?
You’ll get concise feedback on materials, quick check-ins as needed, and templates for outreach and follow-ups.
Will you rewrite my resume and LinkedIn?
We can help you edit and tighten, but you own the updates. We focus on clarity, impact, and alignment with your target role.
How are sessions structured?
Five 60-minute sessions over 3–6 weeks. We can compress or spread out based on deadlines.
Can I book a single session?
No. We work in packages, starting at 5 hours minimum.
Do you guarantee an offer?
No. We control process quality and preparation. Offers depend on market conditions and hiring needs.
What industries and geographies do you cover?
Primarily the US, Europe, and the Middle East, with experience in Latin America and Asia.
