Testimonials
Sam was incredibly helpful and professional throughout our conversation. I found him on Topmate and scheduled a call to get guidance on career progression within finance, including networking strategies and resume positioning. He provided thoughtful, practical insights and demonstrated a strong understanding of both the industry and the challenges faced by early-career professionals. What stood out most was his ability to tailor his advice to my specific situation and offer clear, actionable direction. I highly recommend Sam to anyone seeking honest, knowledgeable career guidance in finance. Also, hope everything is going well!
As a newcomer studying at UBC '24 and trying to shift from tech into finance, I had no idea how to position myself in the Canadian job market. Sam was pivotal in helping me translate my background into something employers here actually understood. My resume became sharper, my story made sense, and my interviews finally felt structured. Within a few weeks, I landed a part-time role and secured a summer finance internship. I wish him all the best with his new service - what he shared with me made a real difference and will help students for sure. :)
Had a quick coffee chat on MBA options and GMAT prep. Got a straightforward starting plan I could use immediately. Good stuff and highly recommend! - Peter
