I don't even know where to start with Benjamin. I was a beginner. I thought I was ready with a couple of frameworks I had memorised and 4 weeks of preparation. After our baseline assessment, I instantly felt that Benjamin was truly invested in transforming the way I was thinking (using logic) and approaching case questions (both frame-working and maths). After every session, I saw a difference in the way I was using my logic and answering the questions. Unlike the other coaches I came across, his case sessions are not ‘just case sessions’. He interacts, engages and questions your logic. He helps you through each case in a step-by step manner and in a non-judgemental way. After the sessions he also sends you recordings of your sessions and a sample framework of each case you went through together.
On the quant side of things, I cannot recommend Benjamin enough. In previous sessions with different coaches, I truly felt judged and the only way forward I heard was ‘just do some drills, you’ll be fine’. My math skills were average and I wasn’t articulating my concepts and approach clearly before I started calculating. The logic-side of things were also missing. What am I calculating? What does it mean? And, how does it help our client? I would get stuck in the middle of the calculations and my mental blockages didn’t help. In our sessions, Benjamin would go through different problem-related (just like in case questions) math drills. After each session, I felt incredibly confident and stopped doubting myself. My math skills (logic and calculation) improved significantly. By the end of our sessions, I could take ownership of doing math drills on my own.
