If you've applied for jobs and heard nothing back — I know the reason why and it's not random. In 90 minutes, I'll show you the process from the inside. Every stage. Every silent rejection point. And exactly how the ones who get in actually do it. It will not be a comfortable session, but it's the ONLY one that will change the entire recruitment game for you.
The rejection happens earlier than you think. Most candidates are eliminated before a recruiter ever sees their resume.
The real dynamic behind referrals, and why most people who ask for them never get a response.
It's not what you've been told. The questions behind the questions, and how to answer what they actually want to know.
You will know exactly how to start, no matter where you are right now. Clarity at the right phase is more important than you think.
The one thing that separates candidates who get offers from those who get polite rejections.
Most career coaches and finance bros have NEVER experienced what they're teaching. They've never been where they want to take you. I have. I'm an active front end investment banker at one of India's top IB firms — I shortlist CVs, I take interviews, I see exactly what gets someone flagged, referred, or rejected.
And I don't come from a fancy background. Tier-2 UG college. 27 rejections. A startup that I built and lost. I figured out the system the hard way — and now I'll show it to you in 90 minutes.

I have personally worked with 100+ people so far, and the feedback is consistently the same — clarity, results, and real outcomes in competitive finance roles. 14+ have secured a high finance offer.
I recently had a session with Yash on 'Breaking into Finance,' and it was incredibly insightful. He guided me through the nuances of resume building and profile enhancement, while providing a clear roadmap of various career options. His calm and structured approach stood out — he doesn't just give surface-level advice but helps you identify the root cause of any hurdles. Highly recommended!
Had a 1:1 with Yash before my final year. I was overwhelmed — didn't know where to start or how to compete against Tier 1 IIM candidates for IB roles. The session gave me a concrete roadmap — what to build, how to network, and how to position my background as a strength. Highly recommend for anyone serious about breaking into finance.
Had a very insightful session with Yash on understanding investment banking. He explained the different roles (M&A, ECM, DCM, etc) in a very practical way. His inputs on my profile and the MBA vs CFA decision were especially helpful. Definitely recommend connecting with him for clarity in this space.
Had a really helpful and insightful conversation with Yash. His advice was very clear and helped me solve my doubts regarding my career ahead. He gave me very on-point suggestions and opinions on my profile with solutions to improve it further. Recommend the session for sure.
Yash broke down the IB recruitment process in a way that nobody else has. I had been applying blindly for months. After our session, I rebuilt my CV using his framework and got 3 interview calls in the next 2 weeks. Genuinely the most useful 60 minutes I've spent on my career.
I'm from a Tier-2 college and thought IB was out of reach. Yash showed me exactly what to focus on and what to ignore. He doesn't sugarcoat anything — which is what I needed. Cleared my first PE interview round last week. Cannot recommend him enough.
What I loved most is that Yash actually works in IB — so the advice isn't theoretical. He told me exactly what recruiters look at in the first 10 seconds of a CV. Changed my whole approach to applications and referrals.
MBA fresher here — I was confused between consulting and IB. Yash helped me think through it logically based on my own profile, not generic advice. His stock pitch framework is gold. Already shared it with two of my batchmates.
I came in skeptical because I've been to a lot of 'career sessions' that were just motivation talks. This wasn't that. Yash gave me a step-by-step plan with timelines. No fluff. Worth every minute.
CA finalist trying to break into front-office finance. Yash mapped out exactly which roles to target, which to avoid, and how to position my CA against MBA candidates. The clarity I got in one session would've taken me a year to figure out on my own.
