What Mentees Say
Real feedback from candidates who leveled up their careers.
“I came from a non-target with no finance internships and had no idea where to start. Suro rebuilt my entire approach: resume, networking, technicals. Within four months I had offers from two upper-middle-market PE firms.”
Arjun M.
PE Analyst
“Helped me successfully clear first-round interviews with two bulge-bracket banks and a boutique firm. The preparation was highly targeted and practical.”
Anonymous
“Suro's mock interviews were brutal in the best way. He grilled me on LBO mechanics and merger math the way real interviewers do. I ended up converting my Superday at a top bulge bracket bank.”
Priya S.
IB Analyst
“Structured, demanding, and extremely effective. I saw a clear step-change in my modelling, valuation thinking, and how I communicated under pressure.”
Anonymous
“As an international student with no US network, I thought breaking into banking was impossible. The networking strategy alone was worth every penny. Signed my offer letter three months in.”

Sound Familiar?

“Applied to 50+ roles and heard nothing back”
We rebuild your resume, story, and outreach strategy from scratch so you actually get interviews.
“Not from a target school or lack a 3.7+ GPA”
Most of our mentees broke in without a traditional pedigree. We show you how to close the gap with preparation and positioning.
“Don't know where to start with technicals”
We walk you through LBOs, DCFs, stock pitches, and case studies step by step, from zero to interview-ready.
“Getting interviews but not converting to offers”
Mock interviews scored on real criteria, with direct feedback on exactly where you are losing points.
