Coaches professionally
Experience level: Analyst
60+ people coached for Hedge Fund
I started my career in investment banking before transitioning to a fundamental Long/Short equity analyst role at Point72, where I spent years analyzing investments and refining my approach to stock picking. Along the way, I’ve mentored many aspiring investors—helping them navigate the industry, develop strong investment frameworks, and prepare for interviews. I know firsthand how challenging it can be to break into hedge funds or other competitive finance roles, and my goal is to provide practical, honest guidance to make that process more manageable. My approach is highly personalized, focusing on deep dives into stock ideas, thesis conviction, valuation frameworks, risk analysis, and mock interviews that prepare you for the toughest buy-side interviews. Each session is tailored to what you need most—whether that’s refining a stock pitch, improving your valuation approach, or sharpening your ability to defend an investment idea under pressure. I’ve worked with clients at different stages in their careers, from students looking for their first buy-side role to professionals seeking to transition into investing. Many of them have gone on to land interviews and offers at top hedge funds and asset management firms, and I take pride in helping them reach their goals. If you’re looking for clear, straightforward feedback from someone who has been in the industry, I’m happy to help. My sessions are designed to be practical and results-driven, focusing on the skills and insights that actually matter in investing. Let me know how I can help.

About Diyang
I began my career in M&A investment banking at RBC, then moved to the buyside as a long/short equity analyst at Point72. Along the way, I realized that succeeding in these roles requires a very different skillset than what most students are taught. You can have perfect technicals and still struggle to break in, or to succeed once you're in. What really sets people apart is the ability to think independently, build conviction in an idea, and communicate it clearly under pressure. Everything I teach is based on what I’ve seen actually matter in practice. The goal isn’t to check a box or memorize a framework, it’s to help you develop real competence and confidence in how you think, pitch, and show up. Whether you're recruiting or already on the job, I want to help you get sharper and feel more prepared for the path ahead.
Why do I coach?
The idea came from my own experience, first in investment banking at RBC, then as a long/short equity analyst at Point72 where I saw how different the job was from what most training programs prepare you for. Success on the buyside isn’t just about technical ability. It’s about learning to think like an investor: being able to structure your research, develop conviction, and communicate your ideas clearly, even under pressure. These are skills that aren’t always taught, but they can be learned with the right guidance. I focus on making that learning process as practical and real as possible. Through 1-on-1 coaching or structured Bootcamp, my goal is to help candidates approach the role with clarity, confidence, and a way of thinking that actually mirrors what analysts do every day. This work means a lot to me. Not just because I’ve been through the process myself, but because I’ve seen how much of a difference the right kind of preparation can make.
