Can’t fucking stand this guy – the most pretentious content I have ever seen and slimy tactics to scare freshman and sophomores into paying for his content.
can u dm the name? normally don’t pay for these stuff but wanna see the clown
If you pay for a mentor you're retarded anyway.
A real mentor would want to help you without any financial incentives.
He’s no mentor, he’s a business man
His VP straight up said he didn’t get a return lol
What's his name???
That's just so sad...
Most “finance” mentors (especially one with no ft experience) are probably a scam (services don’t match anywhere near the value you are getting). Just utilize your school’s investment clubs and alumni. The difference in spending thousands on a mentor vs doing it yourself is marginal. Especially the guy you mentioned, who is still a student. The services he offers and literally free at your school’s investment clubs if you are coming from a semi target/target. I’m not sure what advice he could provide besides network (which is common sense), mock interviews (which you can pretty much access for free through friends, student clubs, alumni) and study technicals (biws and literally free and distributed everywhere and there also free technical prep sites). The only benefit I can see this being for are people coming from total non-targets - otherwise I completely think you’re doing it to yourself by paying for the individuals’ advertised services. The only way I would pay anything to a “finance” mentor is if they offer one-on-one in-depth technical training, which this person doesn’t have enough experience for I’m almost positive or if they provide access to their network of Ib/pe/whatever finance professionals.
I took a look more into his profile and this guy is literally running up a Sam Shiah 2.0. Incredibly great business model but very predatory in my opinion. Literally makes constant posts over-exaggerating the difficulty and steps you need to take to break into the industry, almost playing it like you need this guy’s services to break into the industry/you actually will have a high chance of breaking in with his help. I assume this guy is probably running insane numbers in recurring revenue from desperate non-targets, students looking to break into Ib, and students with too much money to spend either in freshman/entering sophomore year. I’d also make a case that there are individuals out of school looking to break in that are blowing money on his services. And this stream of revenue just continues running annually every year because there will always be new people desperate to break into the industry and it will only grow as his engagement numbers grow.
Oh sh*t, can you DM me his name so I know to avoid?
can u dm the name? rly curious abt the clown
Can you DM me his name?
Anyone know what this clown charges?
I’m pretty sure almost 2k
Wow that is crazy
People are paying for mentorship?
In the age of search engines? On the one hand, it's bad, but on the other, if there are people capable of getting owned like this, maybe they should be?
If you're gullible enough to pay for mentorship you don't belong in this industry. It's its own sorting mechanism. A kind of Darwinism for professionals when you think about it.
Agreed that paying for mentorship is stupid, but we gotta normalize posting said person's name lol they're a literal business that provided a bad service, we gotta know who to avoid
Yeah why not state his name on here?
Because that's considered doxxing which is against the TOS and will result in the thread immediately getting taken down. It's happened before.
No need to dox, but maybe someone can say a couple of keywords we can use to research ourselves
I think knowledge about financial investment cannot be measured by money. It depends on the personalities and conversations between two people. If the conversation between two people is pleasant and they can become good friends, then I can share any information and investment for free. It has nothing to do with money.
