Prateek has helped me immensely to get my job at TD. He helped me connect the dots across different parts of my experience and get clear on what I actually wanted to do next, and put together a plan to get there. What I really appreciated about him was that he’s genuine and direct. He’ll push back on your thinking when you need it, and he won’t sugarcoat stuff however it always comes from a place of care. I found him to be extremely passionate about what he does and genuinely care for your success which is hard to find these days. I thoroughly enjoyed my session with him. Each session was conversational, eye opening and insightful. His interview prep was one of the best parts of working with him with a lot of emphasis on content, clarity, delivery and building out stories that help convey the right message. His sessions were really great, blending insights from psychology, and his own professional experience to help uncover my biases and understand recruiters/ hiring managers’ POV. This completely shifted the way I prepared and gave my interviews. Working with him was easy andwith a lot of actionable insights and deep conversations. Really grateful to have him in my corner during my job search!
Hi, I'm Prateek, a Career Coach for MBA students and professionals navigating the Canadian and US job market.
I've spent my career on every side of the table with two decades across Moody's, TD Bank, and McKinsey. As a talent and HR professional, a hiring manager and a career coach I know exactly what gets people hired, and what quietly disqualifies them. I've coached 250+ students through Pivot Consulting and as a Career Coach at Ivey Business School, with clients landing at RBC, TD, CIBC, McKinsey, Amazon, PwC, and OLG.
But more than that, I've been exactly where you are.
I moved to Canada in 2019, landed a job in a month, and lost it to COVID in six. I had to start over in an unfamiliar market, with an expiring visa, and advice that told me what to do but never how. That gap is why I built Pivot Consulting.
I work 1:1 with international students, MBA grads, and professionals making a pivot or moving up. Here's what we work on together:
Career clarity — strengths, direction, and a strategy that's actually yours
Personal brand — resume, LinkedIn, elevator pitch, and how your story lands
Networking that opens doors — coffee chats, outreach, and real relationship building
Behavioural interview prep — story development, mock interviews, and rigorous feedback
Job search strategy — market navigation, recruiter engagement, and staying in the game
No cohorts. No templates. Just focused, personal work.
You don't have a skills problem. You have a translation problem. If that sounds familiar, book a call. Let's fix it.
No sugar-coating, no vague advice. Prateek cuts to what matters. As a Navy veteran, he helped me translate military experience into corporate skills nobody else could. Genuinely transformative
