OfficeHours CEO Admits to fake Linkedin Accounts, Tells WSO "Fuck you all"
In case anyone was considering using OfficeHours' services, this is the type of guy who runs it. I'm sure lots of IB's and PE firms are dying to work with this type of personality.
Rohit's comment from earlier (which he deleted) below. This probably does not bode well for the relationship between OfficeHours and Litquidity lol. What a way to build a brand.
"Co-Founder worked in IB then PE and I worked on the later-stage team at a Growth Equity firm with people from Moelis, Lazard, and Thoma Bravo - not sure what you mean "never worked in IB or PE?" Not sure how much more IB or PE this shit gets. Like sorry I didn't need to go through IB to get to the Buyside so I'm supposed to apologize for that now? Anyway my Co-Founder did and most of our Coaches from HBS, GSB, Wharton have too. We're the marketplace so the good news is you won't work with me directly, you'll end up working with an accredited Coach.
Sure we had to create some marketing LinkedIn accounts because a few of the people we hired weren't allowed to use their real accounts due to non-competes from their prior firms, those since then have now been taken down because of those non-competes finally expiring a couple years later. For most people that we met in-person, we even mentioned that Nadia and Brooke were run by multiple people on the backend but if anything it was to fake LinkedIn's algorithm not to fake anyone out -- we have multiple men and women working for us on the backend but some just choose to keep their identifies private due to aggressive messaging coming from IB Analysts (no joke even over LinkedIn). After seeing these forums, why would you subject your employees to such harassment!?
Don't ever say that you could "learn how to break into PE over a weekend" and you could find free materials that are better compared to everything that we've done within this business over the last 2 years. Our stuff is SUPER FRESH compared to your dated 2-statement LBO test on your drive that HIG gave out 3 years ago -- why do you think that will work today for an interview with a Megafund in 2022 where the rest of the world has gotten so advanced and complex?! You're not the only smart one working in finance, are you? We work with countless Mentees and Coaches to help them mock interview in the same way that you're going to be mock interviewed by these megafunds. Practice makes Perfect that's why our Litquidity-Student Athletes all have 3.8 GPAs and above and are going to places like EB's and Analyst-programs fresh out (with and without the help of OfficeHours). If you have a solid chance yourself, great - if you work with a coach and drill materials, case studies, models, and then get asked about them in an interview setting -- your chances improve - that's literally factual.
If you're about it, great - if you're not - either let me know, we'll take you OFF our subscription list or just completely block you from any communication (if you were on it to begin with). Which we have already with a bunch of you so idk what's peeving a few of you this bad that you have to keep posting about our business.
What you shitposters don't understand is that it's 10X easier to shit on something and berate someone online for doing something different than it is to do something yourself productive (I guess that's why it's in the name). If you take away your title and your firm name and you want to start something new - especially in finance, understand you're going to have to start from the bottom and work your way up just like any company - other industries like tech can be more encouraging but it's just in finance many tend to be fucking egotistical masochists.
AND IT'S A BUSINESS -- you're going to partner, you're going to take money, you're going to raise money and you're going to spend on sales and marketing to attain revenue -- you would think for individuals that spend so much time putting decks together on BUSINESSES you would know how to run one, def not.
If this is WS*&^) or another competitor of ours posting, it makes sense why we get shit on so much on their own platform where they sell competitive resources and are looking to bring down the new kid on the block, sure. However if a few of you have issues with me personally and what I've done, well my name is on this post - you clearly have received an email from me and you know my LinkedIn (fuck, probably even my phone number) - why don't you reach out and say it to my face? Find a time to step away from your desk and give me a ring or let's schedule a time, I work on my own hours so I'm around.
Sure you can sit there and wallow in your misery and be like "hey, fuck Rohit he's a snake-oil salesman, fuck him for pinging me over LinkedIn, fuck another Indian man for doing well in this country, fuck it all" - or you could reach out to us and if you mention this post we'll choose 5 of y'all for FUCKING FREE COACHING since CPI just reached out and oncycle 2024 is about to start (and clearly some of y'all aren't happy with your current banking gigs - shows with how much you post on this anonymized forum).
Aside from this - I'll let the team get back to releasing an updated version of this Compensation Deck but understand one is only as good as the data they're provided and I think some of it was skewed due to London numbers where they get paid less.
and btw fuck you all, we hook it up and help such great people get their dream jobs -- sad to see so much critique around a couple individuals bringing something new to the scene (if you know of another Buyside COACHING platform, lmk because we're literally the only ones doing it as a CORE part of our biz)"
