The biggest career decisions hit you before you're ready for them. Which degree to pursue. Whether an MBA is worth it. Which job to take — startup or corporate. When to switch. What to optimise for at 22 vs 27.

Most people make these calls based on peer pressure, placement stats, or whatever LinkedIn is hyping that week. That's how you end up two years into something wondering why it doesn't feel right.

I've navigated these crossroads myself — B.Com from NM College, CFA L1 & L2, investment banking at JP Morgan and KNAV, Founder's Office roles at three VC-backed startups, and an MBA at ISB on a 100% Merit Scholarship (3/810+). Every move was a deliberate bet, and I've seen firsthand how the right sequencing of degrees, roles, and timing compounds over a career.

In this session, I'll help you think through the decision you're currently facing — whether that's choosing between degrees, evaluating an MBA, picking between job offers, or planning your next 2-3 career moves. No generic advice — just a structured conversation tailored to where you are and where you want to go.
