I am an investment banking and private equity professional seasoned in both interviewing candidates and winning offers as a candidate. As an interviewer, I previously served as the leader of my office's Investment Banking Summer Analyst recruiting where I reviewed 500+ resumes (and selected winning resumes for the next round), conducted 30+ interviews, and wrote / organized 100+ interview questions, where I heavily influenced which candidates were ultimately hired. As an interviewee, I participated in 60+ banking and private equity interview processes, where I won 15+ offers - offers I won include, but are not limited to, Moelis & Company, JP Morgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Lincoln International, among others. I have now successfully coached several other individuals to reaching final rounds and winning offers. If you're looking to break into this field, let's connect and strategize your path to success!

About Adam
Coaching Approach
Work Experience
I help college students and experienced professionals land entry-level and lateral investment banking and private equity roles by breaking down complex concepts into clear, easy-to-understand lessons. My coaching focuses on three areas: (1) Foundations First – building the technical and behavioral skills needed to stand out, even without prior deal experience; (2) Clear, Confident Communication – teaching how to tell your story, highlight transferable skills, and handle tough questions; and (3) Realistic Practice – running mock interviews that mirror the pace and pressure of actual recruiting. Every session is tailored to your background and target firms so you can go into interviews prepared, polished, and confident.
