🚫 I may not be the right coach for you — yes, you read that right! If you're looking for a magical solution to break into Investment Banking, this isn’t it. ❌ If you’re still reading… I still may not be the right coach for you. If you already come from a strong finance background, chances are you know more than I do! 🧠📊 Still here? 👀 That’s probably because you’re trying to pivot into Investment Banking. 🔄💰 And this is where I know I can add tremendous value. 👩🏽‍💻 A little about me: I'm an Indian female engineer turned management consultant. Most recruiters would probably categorize my profile as a classic non-traditional candidate. I’m currently pursuing my MBA at Wharton, UPenn, and successfully landed two summer internship offers from top Investment Banks in New York. 🗽💼 📞 Types of Coaching Calls I Recommend 1. "Help me get started" 🚦 We’ll do a full profile analysis, understand your specific circumstances, and chart a personalized roadmap with clear next steps. 🛣️🗂️ 2. "Help my Resume" 📄🔍 A detailed session covering structure, formatting, section-by-section strategy, and a line-by-line review. (Remember — attention to detail is everything in banking! 🧾✅) 3. "Help me strategize" 🧠⚔️ Still debating BBs vs EBs? Product vs Industry groups? Let’s find where you fit best and build a strategy to maximize your chances. 🎯 4. "Help me master networking" ☕🤝 Includes a short mock coffee chat + tailored advice to help you be more effective (and memorable!). As an international student with zero finance experience, I had to learn the hard way. Let me help you skip that learning curve. 🚀 5. "Help me plan my technical prep" 📘⏳ Let’s build a customized technical prep strategy — the best resources, timelines, and milestones — that works with your schedule, not against it. 🗓️🔧 6. "Help me prep for industry and deal discussions" 💬📈 From deal templates and elevator pitches to industry insights — we’ll prep you to stand out in coffee chats and handle even the dreaded nth-level follow-ups like a pro. 🧩💼 7. "Help me get that interview invite" ✉️🔓 You're in the crucial weeks before first-round interviews. Let's talk low-touch vs high-touch strategies and how to stay tactically on radar. 🎯📬 8. "Help me prep for interviews" 🎤📚 Wait — hurray! You’re over the first hurdle. Just by getting that interview invite, your chances of landing the job have gone up tenfold! 🎉 Now it’s time to make it count. We’ll kick off with a short mock (technical + behavioral), assess where you stand, and create a personalized prep plan to help you crush both technicals and behaviorals with ~2-3 weeks of structured prep. 🔥🧠✅ 9. "Let’s do a full mock (coffee chat/interview)" 🕵️‍♀️🎬 A full simulation of what’s next — whether it’s a coffee chat, first round, or Superday — followed by detailed feedback so you can refine and level up. 🧗‍♂️✨ 🛠️ Need something tailored or want to mix & match? Shoot me a message and we’ll plan a session that fits your timeline and goals perfectly. 📝📞

About Sreelatha

I’m an Indian engineer turned management consultant, now pursuing my MBA at Wharton. Like many others, I had what some might call a “cookie-cutter” profile — and I constantly wondered how I’d ever stand out. I didn’t come from finance, didn’t have an Ivy League degree, and I wasn’t the loudest voice in the room. But I was curious, reflective, and committed to doing the work. I poured myself into the MBA application process — researching obsessively, networking widely, and rewriting my story until it felt authentic. I received interview invites from every school I applied to and ultimately chose Wharton. At the core of my journey is a deep passion for healthcare. With an undergraduate degree in biotechnology, experience in life sciences consulting, and now an MBA, I’m charting my path to becoming a leader in the healthcare space — whether through finance or operating roles. I’m driven by the opportunity to make systems better, more accessible, and more impactful for the people they serve.

Why do I coach?

Because I was that person — overwhelmed, overthinking, and constantly wondering if I was doing it “right.” I didn’t have a traditional profile, and I doubted myself a lot. What helped me the most were a few mentors and peers who offered honest feedback, encouragement, and clarity when I needed it most. I coach because I know how lonely and confusing this process can feel — whether it’s MBA admissions, GMAT prep, or breaking into a whole new industry. I don’t have all the answers, but I do know how to ask the right questions, give you structure, and help you move forward with confidence. Coaching, for me, is about being that trusted voice in the moments when you’re doubting yours.
