Free resume review - former IB currently in PE

Hi all,

After a few years in the industry and currently active at a MM PE fund I am voluntarily reviewing resumes. Over the years I have seen many cv's cross my desk, by know I should be able to provide you with some best practices I have learned over the years. Please send your resume to: [email protected]

Understandably you might experience my offer to be a scam. Please get in touch or send a PM. I am happy to discuss my motivation to give something back.

Best,
