About Darius
Hey 👋! I’m Darius. I can’t wait to support you on your career journey. In a 3.5 year timeframe, I was able to land 25+ internship/full-time offers from a non-target background across investment banking, management consulting, private equity, big tech, and venture capital. At firms like Goldman Sachs, BCG, KKR, Insight Partners, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Apple, among others. Along this journey I’ve conducted over 170+ networking calls with professionals and recruiters through cold email/LinkedIn dm outreach. I understand the value and importance of leveraging networking as the cornerstone of your recruiting process as it completely elevated my future trajectory. The skills you’ll develop from our sessions will put you light years ahead in your recruiting process. If you’re a student interested in receiving support for career exploration, application strategy, resume reviews, networking, technicals/case prep, behavioral questions, and interview preparation, let’s find some time to connect and help you transform your career outcomes.
Why do I coach?
I come from a non-traditional background as a first-gen college student who attended a non-target school. 1:1 support was the X factor that transformed my career journey. I credit the success in my career process to coaches and mentors that guided me along the way. There’s nothing like having a coach that can guide you step-by-step through every part of the recruiting process and maximize your chances for success. Coaching serves as an amplifier that takes your current abilities and 10x’s them.
