Once you’re on the other side, you see things much more clearly. If I had to prepare for my biggest milestones again, I know I could do it with far less effort, stress and wasted time. Hi, I’m Lavanya Sood, a finance professional who has spent much of my journey figuring out how to turn ambitious goals into reality - and now I want to help others do the same, with greater clarity and less wasted effort. Coming from a humble background, I’ve always dared to dream big. I cleared RBI Grade B in my 1st attempt, secured AIR 53, topped Prelims and scored 68/75 in the interview. I also cleared both levels of FRM in my 1st attempt, with top-quartile performance in all subjects - all while working a full-time job. Before this, I cleared CAT/XAT with 98+ %ile, pursued an MBA in Core Finance from the Department of Financial Studies, University of Delhi, and worked at Deloitte before moving into the financial sector. A large part of my journey involved figuring things out the hard way - what to study, what to ignore, which resources to use, how to structure preparation, where I was wasting time, and what actually moves the needle. I eventually realised that success isn’t always about working harder. It’s often about having clarity - knowing what you want, why you want it, and how to get there. That’s what I want to help you with. 🎯 RBI Grade B & Competitive Exams Preparation strategy, resources, self-study, Phase I & II, revision, mocks, and balancing preparation with a full-time job. 🎤 Interview Preparation RBI Grade B interviews, structuring compelling answers, handling questions you don’t know, and identifying and fixing interview weaknesses. 📚 FRM / CFA & Professional Qualifications Choosing the right qualification, building a study plan, selecting resources, and preparing effectively alongside work. 💼 Career & Profile Building Career decisions, finance/risk profiles, and figuring out the next step towards your goals. My approach is simple: you can spend months figuring everything out yourself, or learn from someone who has already made many of those mistakes. If I can help you save even a fraction of the time, energy and money I spent figuring things out and get you closer to a goal that could genuinely change your life that’s a conversation worth having. If you have a goal but aren’t sure how to get there, book a session with me. Let’s figure it out together.
