Led by Leland coach Akaash P., a former Lazard investment banking analyst and private equity investor at a $500M growth fund, this session will cover how to approach outreach, craft an effective networking message, prepare for informational calls, and build lasting professional relationships. Akaash has helped candidates land offers at top firms including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Jefferies, and Blackstone.
