What Clients of Headstart Careers Are Saying…

  • Boutique Investment Banking Analyst | Masters of Finance

    I highly recommend using Michael and Varun's services. I have done extensive research into career coaches and I am so happy with my decision to go with HeadStart Careers. Varun and Michael are extremely hands-on and go so far out of their way to help you. The resources I have been given have been beyond helpful and Michael recently helped me redo my resume, which has gotten me more interviews in this tough market. This new resume has been an absolute game-changer. They have also helped me become way more effective at networking. As mentioned, I spoke with a few other career coaching services and HeadStart Careers was the only company that provided me references of people who have used their services. I spoke with three of their customers and I was absolutely sold on their services. I could not be happier with my decision! Michael got surgery last week and he has still been texting me during his recovery to help me on my career journey.

  • Management Consultant (Received Offer) | Masters of Finance | International Student

    What makes Varun great is that he himself has gone through the process of looking for a job in finance and consulting after his post MBA from NYU Stern. The experience he comes with is brilliant and he will go above and beyond to help you get a job of your preference. He has done amazing changes in my resume, gave me all the tricks and tips on how to network correctly and what to say and avoid in interview.
    I was able to get a job with his guidance within a month. So I would recommend him to students who will graduate in a semester or so to start working with him as soon as possible!

  • BB Investment Banking Summer Analyst (Received Offer) | Undergraduate Student | International Student

    Careful, respectful, and genuinely invested in my progress, he goes above and beyond to help me. He not only imparts knowledge but empathizes with my challenges by putting himself in my shoes. Every piece of advice he offers is incredibly valuable and has been instrumental in paving my way to success in the IB program and advancing my career.

    Moreover, he is a warm and kind individual to be around. He treats me as a friend rather than merely a client, fostering a comfortable and supportive environment. I am grateful to have such an exceptional mentor who not only guides me professionally but also enriches my personal growth.

  • CIO | Public Equities

    I highly recommend Varun and his services. Varun spends the time getting to know you and assessing your own unique situation to then help you optimize your approach. He gives you actionable strategies, contacts and helps your formulate your elevator pitch. He reformats your resume to better leverage your strengths. Varun was always on time, friendly, and great to work with.

  • Corporate Finance (Received Multiple PE & VC Interviews) | Post-MBA Candidate

    Varun was very helpful in terms of presenting what type of PE opportunities there were for me as a Post-MBA candidate and given my specific background. He was able to provide a structured recruiting process and list of headhunters/industry contacts for outreach. He was also available outside normal hours to discuss any specific questions I had during the process, which was very helpful as he was quick to respond.
