Watch out while recruiting: Office Hours Are A HUGE Scam

Not the OP. Reposting from the thread in the PE forum since the IB forum is the most active and its young members would be the most likely prospects for this service. Keep your money young monkeys, there's easier ways to break in than paying for some tutoring service. Learn your technicals, be likable, and grind. 


Works at Goldman Sachs

This guy literally posted a list of PE and growth equity associates, and has the caption "My team went through hundreds of LinkedIn Profiles to track movement for many of our Office Hours Mentees to be able to quickly see where their fellow banking & undergrad alum end up".

Not only am I on this list as well as many of my friends (that we had no idea even existed), I know for a fact that none of us used his program. This marketing effort is incredibly misleading, not to mention the fact that this guy comments "Congrats!" every time someone makes the move to private equity, making it appear that he helped them get the position. It's fine to be a platform for career coaching, but the fear mongering and misleading images / posts is too much. 

Don't even get me started on the fake accounts for Nadia Persaud - has anyone ever seen any of these people in real life? Pretty sure just made these people up because males are more likely to respond to an attractive female on LinkedIn...they always ask you to jump on the phone with Asif, but for some reason they never jump on the phone themselves...hm.....

Also maybe buy the WSO prep stuff if you're worried - it's actually pretty solid.
