1:1 Career Diagnostic
Find out what's actually blocking your finance career.
A structured 1:1 session with someone who has done the hiring, not just written about it — investment banking at Citigroup, Rothschild, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America, then the buyside at hedge funds.
You leave with a specific 30/60/90-day plan mapped to live application windows. No generic encouragement.
Book your diagnosticWhat the session covers
- Where you actually stand: honest read on your profile vs the roles you are targeting — school, experience, timing, market.
- The gap analysis: which of story, technicals, networking, or application strategy is actually blocking you (it is usually not the one people think).
- A specific plan: what to do in the next 30/60/90 days, in priority order, mapped to real application windows from the live tracker.
- Direct answers: bank vs boutique, on-cycle vs off-cycle, MBA vs lateral, region choices — asked and answered with reasons, not hedges.
Common questions
- Who runs the diagnostic?
- Surojit Chakraverti — investment banking at Citigroup, Rothschild, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America, then hedge funds (Redline Capital, Third Wave Capital). Not a career-coach-by-trade: someone who has sat on the hiring side of the table you are trying to get to.
- What happens in the session?
- A structured 1:1 conversation: profile review, gap analysis against your target roles, and a prioritised plan. You leave with specific next actions, not general encouragement.
- Is this an interview coaching session?
- It is the strategy layer that comes first — where to aim and what to fix. Mock interviews, stock pitch reviews and technical drilling are separate follow-on sessions if the plan calls for them.
- Who is it for?
- Students and early-career professionals targeting investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, equity research, or moving up within them (analyst-to-associate decisions included).
