Office Hours are a HUGE Scam

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.....

“While I had the idea… Thank you to my team” - what a great leader

 

Ouch bro... met him once and know the guys he worked with at SourceScrub were legit as can be, wonder where things went wrong. He's responded to posts before but given you're verified Goldman and accusing him of using your image for false marketing maybe there's legal stuff tied to any potential interaction?

Good weekend drama content thanks for sharing. 

 

It's also just annoying how I didn't even give my email to any of the OH people, yet somehow magically got onto their email chain. Being bombarded with these "discounts" offers but I've heard that once you pay for that, they try to upsell you into the other coaching programs that can get upwards to like $10K+. 

*Just to reference, this is all what I've heard through the grapevine. 

 

There is a technical guide that has been floating around the EB I work at for years (as well as at other banks I assume). Office Hours Technical Guide is word for word copied and pasted from this free resource and marketed to have been created by them. You'd think these guys would have at least switched up the order of the questions or layered in some of their own responses...guess they can tack plagiarism on the resume as well.
