Abe has helped clients get into these companies:

I have recruited for both investment banking and undergraduate private equity summer roles, starting my recruiting journey at community college while transferring and navigating the challenges of being an asylee without permanent status. I understand the difficulties of recruiting with a GPA of 3.33, limited industry knowledge, being a diversity candidate, feeling uncertain about how to stand out, and dealing with others' uncertainty about you. I am pleased with being able to land a 2025 Summer Analyst role at Barclays NY. Currently, I am a current student at BYU, majoring in Finance with a minor in Computer Science. My focus is not solely on helping you find your ideal career path, but on identifying the firm that aligns with your values, aptitude, and skills, where you will thrive and shine. I encourage you to think long-term about your goals and guide you in recognizing how to achieve them by understanding the different options and their associated risks and rewards. If you're unsure whether I'm the right fit for you, schedule a free introductory call, and let's chat about figuring this out.

About Abe

Hi, I'm Abe! I moved to the United States from Egypt during high school as an asylee, navigating a new culture and educational system. While attending community college, I worked full-time at Walmart, where I started as a cashier and advanced to lead an e-commerce operation with over 65 associates. This role honed my skills in leadership and strategic management. Now, I'm a Student at BYU, majoring in Finance with a minor in Computer Science. I began exploring investment banking and private equity while transferring from community college, overcoming challenges such as a 3.33 GPA, limited industry experience, and being a diversity candidate. I’m thrilled to be joining Barclays in New York as a Summer Analyst in 2025. My mission is to help clients excel in investment banking recruitment by aligning their career paths with their values and skills. I emphasize long-term goal setting and help you weigh the risks and rewards of different career options, which fuels my passion for finance. Outside of academics, I enjoy reading English literature, Disney comics, and history. I also love cooking Middle Eastern cuisine and playing golf. I’ve mentored students from diverse backgrounds, assisting them in leveraging their unique stories to shine in the recruitment process. If you'd like to explore how I can support your journey, schedule a free introductory call. Let’s work together to achieve your goals!

Why do I coach?

I deeply value coaching because I’ve seen its transformative impact firsthand. Arriving in the U.S. as an asylee with my mother and siblings, I faced numerous challenges in a new country, educational system, and job market. While I didn’t have a traditional coach, the guidance from various mentors was crucial to my journey. A mentor or coach can significantly enhance the investment banking recruitment process by providing essential guidance and a supportive, non-judgmental space for questions. Mentorship has been pivotal for me, helping me overcome barriers and craft compelling narratives. I’m committed to ensuring that all candidates, especially those from non-traditional backgrounds, have the opportunity to succeed in investment banking. I coach both traditional and non-traditional candidates through the investment banking recruitment process, offering personalized support and strategic advice. If it weren’t for the guidance I received, you wouldn’t be reading this today. I’m dedicated to being that guiding force for you as you navigate your journey in investment banking and beyond.
